_To Mr. J―――― H――――, at Savannah._
_London, June 1, 1741._
_My very dear Friend and Brother_,
I Received a short letter from you, but it was dated in _January_
last.――I have sent several to _Georgia_, and lately also a parcel of
things for the children. GOD appears much in our congregations. We
seldom or never have a dry meeting. As to outward things, I never was
more embarrassed; but my consolations are equivalent. Praise the LORD,
O my soul! I am apprehensive of no opposition from the government. I
have waited on the Speaker. He treated me kindly, and assured me that
there would be no persecution in this king’s reign: they know I am
loyal from principle, but I believe I shall yet be greatly humbled.
The story of _Joseph_ in the prison, and _David_ in his troubles
before he came to the throne, has been much and comfortably pressed
upon my soul. I hope you enjoy peace! May the LORD bless you and the
whole household. I am sometimes enabled to pray with great faith for
you all. The LORD will yet provide. I am to preach thrice to day. It
is now past five in the morning. I am going to the tabernacle lately
erected for a morning lecture. We have sweet meetings, blessed be GOD!
In the bowels of our common JESUS, I subscribe myself
Yours eternally,
_G. W._
