_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Bristol, March 17, 1766._
_My dear Mr. K――――n_,
THE uncertainty of my motions hath made me slow in writing, and a
desire to be a while free from _London_ cares, hath made me indifferent
about frequent hearing from thence. In a day or two, I hope matters
will be determined. If Mr. _S――――d_ comes, I have a mind to stay
a little longer; and if dear Mr. _Howell D――――_ will continue to
officiate, I have a mind to visit _Wales_ for him. Last _Friday_
evening, and twice yesterday, I preached at _Bath_, to very thronged
and brilliant auditories. I am told it was a very high day. The glory
of the LORD filled the house. To-morrow, GOD willing, I return thither
again. Mr. _T――――d_ is too ill to officiate. If any urgent business
requires, be pleased to direct either to this place or _Bath_. Pray
shew my wife this. I hope no news is good news. I trust that the
holy Spirit is moving in Mr. ――――’s family, both on the heads and the
servants of it. Many do think old times are coming round again. Pray
tell Mr. _W――――r_, that I think the letters he hath sent need not go
to _Scotland_ as yet. I sent a packet thither last week. This I write
in the midst of company. Lady _H――――n_ is mounting on her high places.
I wished my two steady friends at _Bath_ yesterday. Mr. _S――――t_ hath
met with a great blessing. Pray, pray for us. All send due respects.
_Tuesday_ or _Wednesday_ next I hope to write again to my wife. Cordial
respects and love attend her, your whole self, dear Mr. _H――――y_ and
sisters, Mr. _Howell D――――_, and all that are so kind to enquire after
and pray for, my dear Sir,
Theirs, yours, &c. &c. in our never-failing JESUS,
_G. W._
