_To Mrs. W――――._
_Edinburgh, March 19, 1763._
_Dear Mrs. W――――_,
I WAS quite concerned to see you so ill as I passed by you. I charge
you to want for nothing. Speak to Messrs. _K――――n_ or _H――――y_: they
will supply you at any time. Do not be afraid to go to the Tabernacle
house. I will own and stand by my dear steady and faithful servants and
helpers. Such a one you have been. O for heaven! There are no thorns
and briars amongst GOD’s people there. May our present ones fit us more
and more for that place where
Sin and strife and sorrow cease,
And all is calm and joy and peace.
Follow me with your prayers. Tender love to all the conference. I have
no doubt of the LORD’s being with them. GOD be with you all evermore!
We have had good seasons at _Everton_, _Leeds_, _Newcastle_, &c. in the
way. Grace! grace! In about a month I expect to sail. A good stock of
prayers in that time, may be laid up for, dear _Betty_, my old faithful
friend and servant,
Yours, &c. &c. in JESUS,
_G. W._
