_To Mr. A――――s._
_London, March 31, 1769._
_My very dear Tommy_,
YOU will be glad to hear, that frequent preaching hath prevented
writing. Through infinite mercy I have been enabled to preach four days
successively. And indeed we have been favoured with a blessed passover
season. All to make us shout louder and louder, Grace! grace! I have
some thoughts of making _Gloucestershire_ my first excursion: but at
present the cloud abides over _London_. LORD JESUS, direct my goings
in thy way! The books will be sent. Mr. _S――――e_ hath done as desired:
I believe he goes to _Bath_ next week. _B――――_’s coming was, I think,
of GOD. She seems happy in her present situation. In heaven we shall
be perfectly so. Till then, some right hand or eye must be cutting off,
and plucking out, and we shall feel the smart and want of both. But
all is well, because all will end well. _Hallelujah! Hallelujah!_ Come,
LORD, come! I can now no more. Adieu. GOD bless you all! Cease not to
pray, my very dear _Tommy_, for
Less than the least of all,
_G. W._
