_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Tottenham-Court, Saturday Morning,
October 31, 1767._
_My dear Friend_,
I WISH some one hour could be fixed for the triumvirate, to meet once
a week. Some business might then be done for both ends of the town.
Regular dispatch is beautiful. What your hand findeth to do, do it with
all your might, &c. I would settle every thing; perhaps I may be called
suddenly, as well as ――――. Transporting thought! Come, LORD JESUS, come
quickly. I would reflect upon _Wednesday_ with humility and gratitude¹.
LORD, what am I? “Less than the least of all,” must be my motto still.
I hope you have got the better of your pleasing fatigue. What an honour
to do any thing for JESUS! in Him, I am, my dear friend,
Ever yours, &c. &c.
_G. W._
