_To Mr. S――――._
_Bristol, May 25, 1759._
_My very dear Sir_,
THIS day se’nnight, through divine goodness, I came hither. The next
day the Spring campaign was opened: on the Lord’s-day we took the field.
Thousands and thousands attended: full as many as in _London_. The
power of the LORD was present at the three meetings, as well as at
the holy communion. Some cups were made to run over. Ever since I have
been enabled to preach twice, and sometimes thrice a day. Never did
I see the _Bristol_ people more attentive or impressed. My body feels
the heat: but no matter. If souls are benefited, all is well. Would
to GOD I could begin to do something for JESUS! You are employed one
way, I another. Ere long we shall sit down together in the kingdom of
our Father. Next _Monday_ perhaps I may move towards _Gloucester_. I
know you will follow me with your prayers. Mine always attend you and
yours. It is the only return that can be made for all your kindnesses
conferred on, my very dear friend,
Yours most affectionately in our common LORD,
_G. W._
