_Newcastle, August 16, 1759._
_My dear Mr. D――――_,
I HOPE that soon after your writing in _February_ last, my _November_
letters came to hand, and that Mr. _P――――l_ hath been over with you,
to discharge all _Bethesda_ debts. Blessed be GOD for causing his work
to prosper in your hands. Pray be always as particular as you can about
the children, and set them upon writing often. Mr. _Zubly_’s coming
to _Georgia_ pleases me much. Pray let me have the whole account from
last audit. I am glad you have taken in three more orphans; they will
turn out great prizes in the last day. Poor Mr. _I――――s_!――Let him
that standeth take heed lest he fall. LORD JESUS, give us a right
understanding in all things! He is an ever-loving and ever-lovely
JESUS. His power hath been made known in _Scotland_ for these six
weeks last past. Some books will be sent from thence to the care of Mr.
_Hodsden_. The box which I sent in _Burkitt_ some months ago, I hear
was taken;――it had a gown in it, and several other things. “The LORD
hath given, and the LORD hath taken away: blessed be the name of the
LORD!” We have a GOD that will supply all our wants, according to the
riches of his mercy in CHRIST JESUS. O to be faithful unto the death!
we shall then receive a crown of life. That this may be your happy
portion, is the earnest prayer of, my dear Mr. _D――――_,
Yours most affectionately in our common LORD,
_G. W._
