_To Mrs. C――――._
_London, May 28, 1762._
_Dear Mrs. C――――._
I AM just now come to town for a few days, sensibly better by my
country excursion. Once more I have had the honour of taking the field,
and have now some hopes of not being as yet quite thrown aside as a
broken vessel. Help me to praise Him, whose mercy endureth for ever.
Why do you persist in keeping poor Mr. _D――――_ in suspense? If not done
before, I expect to marry you both immediately upon my arrival, but do
not stay for that. Your hint about Mr. _S――――_’s being inclined to the
ministry, made me smile. Mr. _R――――_’s account shall be paid as soon as
possible. But I beg no such thing may be done again. This is wrote in
very great haste, hearing that the ship is gone. I wrote to all from
_Bristol_, very lately. This must now do for all. GOD bless and reward
you. Amen and Amen! I am, dear Mrs. _C――――_,
Yours, &c. &c. in JESUS,
_G. W._
