_Bristol, May 28, 1758. Nine in the morning._
_My very dear Sir_,
I AM quite ashamed, that I should give you so much trouble:――but you
are my friend indeed. May the never-failing friend of sinners bless
and reward you a thousand fold! I have been just now preaching the
unsearchable riches of his grace, to a multitude of souls, in a fine
square.――Presently, at eleven o’clock, the blessed talk is to be
repeated at _Kingswood_, and then once more in the evening here.
Yesterday I went to _Bath_. But every thing wearies this shattered
bark. To-morrow, GOD willing, I go for _Wales_. The chaise must be my
carriage. I would part with that, and my other, and then if I could
have a good four wheel carriage for thirty or forty pounds, the expence
would not be so great. I would not lay out a single farthing but for
my blessed Master. Mr. _S――――_ is an honest friendly soul.――I leave
it entirely, my very dear Sir, to you and him. The LORD give you to
ride daily on in the chariot of his love. I return cordial thanks
to your mother and sisters for their concern for unworthy me.――Mrs.
_G――――_ and _B――――_ long to see them. I had a good season of christian
conversation at _Bath_, and found Sir _C―――― H――――m_ really converted
unto GOD.――I doubt not but dear Mr. _D――――s_ will enjoy much of his
blessed presence.――Be pleased to present my hearty love to him, and all,
and accept the same for yourself and family, from, my very dear Sir,
Yours most affectionately in our glorious Head,
_G. W._
