_To Mr. D――――n, &c._
_New-York, August 19, 1764._
_My very dear Friends_,
I HAVE waited with eagerness for another letter. I want a particular
account of the necessaries you stand in need of. They might be procured
with advantage here or at _Philadelphia_. I hope you have received the
things. Something more will be sent by _Schemerron_ to the care of Mr.
_H――――m_. I hear another vessel is expected from _Georgia_ soon. Surely
I shall have a line then. I fear it will be the middle of _October_
before I can leave _Philadelphia_; but, GOD willing, you shall hear
more particularly soon. A never-failing JESUS continues to smile upon
my feeble labours, and hath hitherto carried me comfortably through the
summer’s heat. Help, O help me to praise him. Pray for us. Tender love
to all. Hoping to join with you quickly on earth, and in full assurance
of joining with you eternally in heaven, in very great haste, but
greater love, I subscribe myself, my very dear friends,
Ever yours, &c. &c. &c. in JESUS,
_G. W._
