_To the Same._
_Philadelphia, May 24, 1770._
_My very dear Friend_,
I WROTE to you by the last _New-York_ packet, as well as by Mr.
_D――――n_, who was to sail from _Savannah_ the 10th instant. I have now
been here near three weeks, and in about a week more I purpose to set
off for _New-York_ in my way to _Boston_. A wide and effectual door,
I trust, hath been opened in this city. People of all ranks flock as
much as ever. Impressions are made on many, and I trust they will abide.
To all the episcopal churches, as well as most of the other places
of worship, I have free access. My bodily health is preserved, and
notwithstanding I preach twice on the Lord’s-day, and three or four
times a week besides, yet I am rather better than I have been for many
years. This is the LORD’s doing. To this long-suffering, never-failing
LORD, be all the glory! Be pleased to excuse my enlarging. Whilst I am
itinerating, little leisure will be allowed for writing. The _New-York_
packet will be the best opportunity for you. The particulars herein
mentioned, be so good as to send by the first opportunity. I can no
more at this time. GOD willing, you will soon have another line from,
my very dear steady friend,
Less than the least of all,
_G. W._
