_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Philadelphia, October 21, 1763._
_My very dear Mr. K――――n_,
THE bearer, Mr. _R――――d_, is a young sober gentleman, intended for the
temple, and will be very glad to see and hear Mr. _Romaine_, and other
gospel ministers. I hope all are flaming for GOD, even a GOD in CHRIST.
Here are some young bright witnesses rising up in the church. Perhaps
I have already conversed with forty new-creature ministers of various
denominations. Sixteen hopeful students, I am credibly informed, were
converted at _New-Jersey_ college, last year. What an open door, if I
had strength! But――Father, thy will be done! blessed be His name, I can
preach now and then. Last _Tuesday_ we had a remarkable season among
the _Lutherans_. Children and grown people were much impressed. Grace!
grace! If possible, I intend returning with Mr. _H――――m_ (now here)
to _Georgia_. You will hear the determination by the next ship, that
goes very soon. I wrote to dear Mr. _H――――y_ very lately, by way of
_Bristol_. Tender, tender love to him, and to all. I have scarce time
to beg the continued interest of all your prayers, in behalf of, my
dear steady old friend,
Yours, &c. in our JESUS,
_G. W._
