_To the Rev. Mr. H――――._
_London, June 13, 1741._
_Reverend and dear Sir_,
I Received your kind letter. You do not know, and therefore think too
highly of me. “Less than the least of all,” shall be my motto still.
Providence is pleased to prevent my leaving _London_ on _Monday_ next.
I must necessarily defer my journey to _Hertfordshire_ and _Essex_,
till the _Monday_ following.――I approve of the circuit you have
fixed, but I chuse to preach at each place twice. Dear Sir, I most
heartily thank you for promising me your assistance in respect to the
orphans. I am persuaded our LORD will be well pleased. He gives me
great encouragement. We daily feel and see his presence in the great
congregation. I hear glorious news from abroad: _New-England_ is in a
holy flame. O that we at home, may be stirred up to spend ourselves,
and be spent, for the good of souls! Dear Sir, pray that such a mind
may be given to
Your most affectionate, though unworthy brother
and servant in CHRIST,
_G. W._
