_To Mrs. S――――._
_London, January 17, 1758._
_Dear Madam_,
I WISH you joy of the happy breach made in, or rather happy addition
made to your dear family. I thought I should never see it in the same
circumstances any more. You may chearfully let _Rebekah_ go. I trust
she hath met with an _Isaac_. May they love one another as CHRIST and
the church! The LORD now make you to laugh! I hope your latter end will
greatly increase. I send the surviving ones my most cordial love; and
praying that you may have more and more comfort in every one of them,
I subscribe myself, dear Madam,
Yours, &c.
_G. W._
