_To Mrs. D――――, at Gransden._
_London, July 17, 1741._
_My dear Sister_,
I Bless GOD that I saw you at _Gransden_. The LORD was with us, and
has been with me the remaining part of my journey. We shall yet see
greater things than these. Wonderful things from abroad. The inclosed
will shew you, how desirous my family is of corresponding with you.
Pray write to my dear little orphans, boys and girls. GOD, I hear,
hath been working powerfully upon their hearts. I would have you also
write to Mr. _J―――― B――――_, a converted planter; to Mrs. _B――――_,
his kinswoman, who has lately received the assurance of faith; to
Mr. _C――――_, a dear baptist minister; to Mrs. _S――――_, who is carried
on the wings of faith and love; and to my dear Mr. _H――――_, who is
Superintendant of the Orphan-house affairs. You will excuse this
freedom. I am willing your usefulness should be as extensive as may
be. May the LORD bless you ever, more and more. I expect to go to
_Scotland_ shortly. A ship will soon sail towards _Georgia_. Write
soon, dear Mrs. _D――――_, to
Your affectionate brother and servant in CHRIST,
_G. W._
