_To the Reverend Mr. T――――._
_Edinburgh, September 2, 1762._
I AM just this moment returned from _Glasgow_, where I have been
enabled to preach every day, and twice at _Cambuslang_. Auditories
were large, and JESUS smiled upon my feeble labours. GOD willing, I
shall leave this place on _Wednesday_ next; but I despair of seeing
you. I have heard nothing of Mr. _M――――n_ and _V――――n_ since I left
them at _Leeds_. What a mercy, that we are sure of meeting in heaven!
Surely, you will not go before me thither. Must it be always _juniores
priores_? Adieu. Cordial respects await your whole self. LORD JESUS be
with your spirits! I fear the carrier will be gone. Accept these few
rusty filings from, my very dear friend,
Yours, &c. &c. &c. in our glorious JESUS,
_G. W._
_September 9._
Thus far I went on _Friday_; but found that was the wrong day to send.
Since then, I have been helped to preach every day. The Kirk hath been
a _Bethel_. Grace! grace! On _Monday_, GOD willing, I shall set off.
Follow with your prayers.
Yours, &c. &c.
_G. W._
