_To Mr. D――――n._
_London, October 26, 1765._
_My very dear Friend_,
ACCEPT a few hasty but loving lines. Your letters came safe. I thank
GOD for their contents. In return I can inform you, that _Bethesda_
matters are likely to come to a speedy and happy issue. We talk of
my coming over again. It is not impossible, if my health admits. At
present, blessed be GOD, I am better than last year. The word runs and
is glorified in _London_. _Bet D――――y_ must not come here. You have not
been so explicit as was Mrs. _R――――l_ about her. Instead of her, pray
send over a barrel of rice or two, directed to Mr. _T―――― C――――a_, in
_Winchester-street_, near _Moorfields_. Pray inform Mr. _H――――m_, that
I hope to send him some pleasing particulars by the next ship. I have
much to say, but have scarcely a moment left to send you my hearty
thanks and blessing, and subscribe myself, my very dear friend,
Ever yours, &c. in the glorious _Emmanuel_,
_G. W._
