_To Mr. D――――n._
_New-York, June 6, 1765._
_My very dear Friends_,
ACCEPT a few loving parting lines. Next _Sunday_, GOD willing, we sail
in the _Earl of Halifax_ packet. No ship offered at _Philadelphia_.
I am almost too weary to write. JESUS made the wilderness to smile!
Grace! grace! I have received letters from _England_, dated _April 13_,
in answer to those sent from _Georgia_. All say, you must come, or
_Bethesda_ affairs cannot be finished. Expect the first intelligence
after my arrival. In the mean while, cease not to remember us at the
throne of that JESUS; in whose great name, I desire to subscribe myself,
very dear dear friends,
Ever yours, &c. &c. in JESUS,
_G. W._
