_To Mr. K――――n._
_Savannah, April 24, 1770, Five in the morning._
_My very dear Mr. K――――n_,
I AM just going into the boat, in order to embark for _Philadelphia_. I
hope the good wine was kept to the last, on _Sunday_. Mr. _D――――n_ and
his wife are to sail in about a fortnight. He is an honest creature,
and an excellent accomptant. I have written strongly in his behalf.
He will bring a large packet, and is to have ―――― pounds of you, which
I have given him as a present. I have also drawn on you for £. ――――;
perhaps shall draw no more for some time. This will prove a blessed
year for me at the day of judgment. _Hallelujah!_ Come LORD, come! Mr.
_Robert W――――t_ hath herewith sent you a power of attorney, begging you
would settle his affairs in _Essex_. He is worthy, for whom you should
do this. A quiet, ingenious, good creature, and his wife an excellent
mistress of the family. Such a set of helpers I never met with. They
will go on with the buildings, while I take my gospel range to the
northward. It is for thee, O JESUS, even for thee, thou never-failing
_Bethesda_’s GOD! But I can no more at present. Hoping to write again
soon from _Philadelphia_, and praying that all may increase with all
the increase of GOD, I must hasten to subscribe myself, my dear, dear
Sir,
Less than the least of all,
_G. W._
