_To Mr. H――――y._
_Bath, June 12, 1766._
LAST night we lay at the _Devizes_. This morning we breakfasted at
_Shaw-House_, near _Melksom_, with Mr. _C――――n_. In my way hither, I
called upon Mrs. _E――――n_. Her account of Miss _Winter_’s decease, was
by no means unpleasant. She was taken suddenly, and though speechless,
continued to smile upon all in a very remarkable manner, till the last
gasp, which was with much struggle. Mr. _P――――s_ is left executor of
the will. Being weary with riding, I think to stay here till after
_Sunday_ morning’s sermon, and then shall set off for _Bristol_. The
horse turns out exceeding well in every respect. I hope you, my dear
Sir, got safe to _London_. That you and all your dear relations, and
all dear friends in town, may, in the glorious _Emmanuel_’s due time,
arrive triumphant in heaven, earnestly prays, my very dear Sir,
Yours, &c. &c. in JESUS,
_G. W._
