_To Mr. K――――n._
_Cottam, near Bristol, June 19, 1766._
_My dear Friend_,
HERE I am, in a large vacant country house, where Mrs. _Wollaston_ was
last Summer. She hath got the start of me; but my turn must come by and
by. As my feverish heat continues, and the weather is too wet to travel,
I have complied with the advice of friends, and have commenced an
hot-well water drinker twice a day. However, twice this week, at six
in the morning, I have been enabled to call thirsty souls to come and
drink of the water of life freely. To-morrow evening, GOD willing, the
call is to be repeated, and again on _Sunday_. By that time, perhaps,
the cloud may point to some particular corner. Dear Mr. _H――――y_ shall
know in due time. Good seasons at _Bath_. Good seasons here. Large
auditories. Grace! grace! I hope that my wife, and yours, and all dear
friends, are well. Cordial love awaits them and dear Mr. _E――――s_, and
all who are so kind as to enquire after, and pray for, my dear friend,
Yours, &c. in JESUS,
_G. W._
