_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Leeds, December 1, 1761._
_My dear old Friend_,
IT is near ten at night, and I am to set off to-morrow in the _Leeds_
stage for _London_. Your letter I received this evening, and thank
you for it most heartily. Silence is enjoined me for a while by the
_Edinburgh_ physicians. They say my case is then recoverable. The great
physician will direct. May he abundantly bless you and yours, and dear
_T―――― J――――_ and his? I send you all most hearty love, as being, for
CHRIST’s sake,
Yours, &c. &c.
_G. W._
