_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Norwich, July 31, 1762._
_My very dear Friend_,
THOUGH you never mentioned a word concerning the letter I sent you when
at _Bristol_, yet this doth not discourage me from dropping you a few
lines, now I am put into _Norwich-Dock_, in order to refit for another
expedition. The _Holland_ one last month, was, I trust, profitable
to myself and others; and if ever my usefulness is to be continued at
_London_, I must be prepared for it, by a longer itineration both by
land and water. At present, blessed be GOD, I can preach once a day,
and it would do your heart good to see what an influence attends the
word. All my old times are revived again. On next _Monday_, GOD willing,
I shall set forwards to _Lincolnshire_, _Yorkshire_, &c. You that
are in cieled houses, and under vaulted roofs (which I do not grudge
you) will not forget a poor pilgrim, who desires no other pulpit but a
mount, no other sounding board but the heavens. I hope dear Mr. _J――――_
is recovered of his indisposition, and that your wife and his, with
yourself, are increasing with all the increase of GOD. My cordial
respects and most hearty love attend you, and all that are so kind as
to enquire after a worthless worm. As I shall not write to-night, be
pleased to inform my wife that you heard of my welfare, and in so doing,
you will add to the obligations already laid upon, my very dear Mr.
_K――――n_,
Yours, &c. in our JESUS,
_G. W._
