_To Mr. T―――― G――――, at London._
_Edinburgh, Aug. 8, 1741._
YOU will see, my dear brother, by the following, what GOD is still
doing for me. On _Sunday_ evening, I preached in a field near the
Orphan-house, to upwards of fifteen thousand people; and on _Monday_,
_Friday_, and _Saturday_ evening, to near as many. On _Tuesday_ I
preached in the _Cannongate_ church; on _Wednesday_ and _Thursday_ at
_Dumfermling_; and at my return on _Friday_ morning, at about eight
o’clock, I preached at a town called _Queens-Ferry_, seven miles
from _Edinburgh_. Every where the auditories were large, and very
attentive. Great power accompanied the word. Many have been brought
under convictions; and I have already received several invitations
to different places, which, GOD willing, I intend to comply with. At
present I can say no more, but desire you to pray for, and expect soon
to hear further from,
Your affectionate friend and servant in CHRIST,
_G. W._
