_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Edinburgh, June 15, 1768._
_My dear Mr. K――――n_,
I HOPE this will find you and yours safe returned to _London_. I am
glad to hear by dear Mr. _H――――_, that you left your daughter better:
may she be spared, not in judgment, but in mercy! Then all will be
well: nay, at all events, you may be assured all shall work for good,
because you love GOD. Glorious assurance this! Thanks be to GOD for
this unspeakable gift. Thanks be to his great name, for ordering my
steps this way. You would be delighted to see our Orphan-house park
assemblies; as large, attentive, and affectionate as ever. Twenty-seven
year old friends and spiritual children, remember the days of old; they
are seeking after their first love, and there seems to be a stirring
among the dry bones. I cannot yet tell when I shall move. Probably
within this fortnight. I must away to my throne. Love to all at
Tabernacle, and to all that are so kind as to enquire after,
Less than the least of all,
_G. W._
