_To the Same._
_New-York, June 30, 1770._
_My very dear Friend_,
I HAVE been here just a week. Have been enabled to preach four times,
and am to repeat the delightful task this evening. Congregations are
rather larger than ever. You will see by the inclosed packet, what
numerous invitations from every quarter I am daily receiving. Blessed
be GOD, I have been strengthened to itinerate and preach daily for some
time. Next week I purpose to go to _Albany_. From thence, perhaps, to
the _Onoida Indians_. There is to be a very large _Indian_ congress;
Mr. _Kirkland_ accompanies me. He is a truly christian minister, and
missionary. Every thing possible should be done to strengthen his hands
and his heart. I shall write, GOD willing, at my return. The letters
dated _February 22_, with the packet of papers, I have received here
from _Charles-Town_. The _New-York_ packet is the surest conveyance.
Perhaps I may not see _Georgia_ till _Christmas_. As yet, I keep to my
intended plan, in respect to my returning. LORD JESUS, direct my goings
in thy way! The heat begins now to be a little intense; but through
mercy I am enabled to bear up bravely. What a GOD do we serve! By this
time I hope Mr. _D――――n_ and his wife are arrived. Hearty love to them,
and to all who find it in their hearts to pray for, and enquire after,
my very dear Sir,
Less than the least of all,
_G. W._
