_Reedy-Island, Nov. 26, 1740._
_Dear Mr. F――――_,
I Thank you for your letter.――You may print my life, as you desire.
GOD willing, I shall correct my two volumes of sermons, and send them
the very first opportunity.――Pray write to me by every ship, that goes
shortly to _Charles-Town_.――――
I shall embark for _England_, GOD willing, about _February_.――I desire
I may hear from you there also, as often as possible. I have prefaced
_Jenks_, and _Presumptuous sinners detected_. Mr. _Bradford_ has the
last, because he said he was to print it. You may have it of him.――The
_Ornaments of the daughter of Sion_, you may have hereafter. Dear
Sir, Adieu. I do not despair of your seeing the reasonableness of
christianity. Apply to GOD; be willing to do the divine will, and
you shall know it. I have heard from Mr. _S――――_; all is well. To-day
several friends have taken leave of me at this place, waiting for a
fair wind in order to embark for _Georgia_. I think I have been on
shore 73 days, and have been enabled to travel upwards of 800 miles,
and to preach 170 times, besides very frequent exhortations at private
houses. I have collected, in goods and money, upwards of 700 _l._
sterling, for the Orphan-house; blessed be GOD! Great and visible are
the fruits of my late, as well as former feeble labours, and people in
general seem more eager after the word than ever. O the love of GOD to
Your unworthy friend,
_G. W._
