_To Mr. G―――― H――――, in Gloucester._
_London, July 18, 1741._
_My dear Friend_,
GOD has mightily blessed my journey in the country. Thousands, and
ten thousands, have flocked to hear the word. It was attended with
power, and near a hundred and eighty pounds were collected for the
Orphan-house. I know you will give thanks on my behalf. On _Thursday_
morning, GOD willing, I hope to embark for _Scotland_: I am persuaded
the LORD calls me thither. Invitations, both from the _Seceders_, and
others that do not secede from the _Kirk_, are very strong. I should
be glad of a line next post. It is now near eleven at night. I hope my
friends will accept my thanks for their kind benefactions to the dear
orphans, and with their prayers follow, dear Mr. _H――――_,
Ever yours in CHRIST JESUS,
_G. W._
