_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Bath, October 7, 1765._
_My very dear Friend_,
WHAT a providence (as matters have fallen out) that your _Bath_ journey
was prevented! Could you have come, and been present at the opening of
the chapel, you would have been much pleased. The chapel is extremely
plain, and yet equally grand. A most beautiful original! All was
conducted with great solemnity. Though a very wet day, the place
was very full, and assuredly the great Shepherd and Bishop of souls
consecrated and made it holy ground by his presence. I preached in the
morning, Mr. _Townsend_ in the evening. Expect more particulars when we
meet. My moving depends on Mr. _M――――n_’s punctuality. I am to preach
to-morrow night, and have hopes of setting off on _Wednesday_ morning.
GOD give us all grace to work whilst it is day! The time of sickness
and lowness comes, when no man can work. Dear Miss _H――――y_ is happily
fled from all. Happy, happy she. GOD comfort all surviving relatives.
They, as well as you and yours, are never forgotten by, my very dear
Sir,
Yours, &c. &c. in Him who is all in all,
_G. W._
