_To Mr. and Mrs. S――――n._
_Bethesda, April 21, 1770._
_My dear Friends_,
LONG before now, I hope you have found, that I have not forgotten you
or your labours of love. This comes to inform you, that the Father of
mercies hath not forgotten to be gracious to the chief of sinners, and
less than the least of all saints. On the contrary, he daily loads us
with his benefits. _Bethesda_ is a place, that the LORD doth and will
bless. Dear Mr. _D――――n_ and his wife, will inform you of particulars.
Among other things, they will tell you of our new chapel. I have sent
for sundries for its use and completion. O help me to praise Him, whose
loving kindness is better than life! I hope your daughter grows in
grace, and will become like unto one of the polished corners of the
temple. That root and branch may increase with all the increase of GOD,
most earnestly prays, my very dear friends,
Less than the least of all,
_G. W._
