_To Mr. D――――._
_Sunderland, September 19, 1762._
_My dear Mr. D――――_,
I CAN only send you a few lines: but I hope they will be acceptable
ones. Your last packet came to my hands yesterday. Blessed be GOD that
all is so well! You will be glad to hear, that I can preach once a
day, and that I have now a prospect of embarking soon. We expect peace,
and I hope the places in _London_ will be provided for. Pray keep the
family as small as you can. Sickness lowers my circumstances. But JESUS
is all in all. I hope to see dear Mr. _S――――k_’s friends in a few days.
I am glad he is at _Ephrata_. Tender love to him and his, to dear Mrs.
_C――――_, Mrs. _P――――l_, and to all. I can no more. I write this at a
venture, to send by way of _Scotland_, where the Redeemer hath been
owning my feeble labours. Grace! grace! When I come to _London_, GOD
willing, you shall hear again from, my very dear friends,
Yours, &c. &c. in our common LORD,
_G. W._
