_To Mr. H―――― H――――, in London._
_Edinburgh, Aug. 11, 1741._
_My very dear Brother H――――_,
THOUGH my eyes are dim, and my body calls for rest, yet I would fain
send you a line before I go. The LORD JESUS is getting himself into
many hearts. I scarce feel any restraint in preaching. Both in public
and private, the LORD clothes his word with power. Poor souls come to
me under deep convictions. Sweet letters are sent to me of the success
of my writings and sermons; and several pressing invitations to many
places. I hope GOD is beginning such a work here, as he begun, and is
now carrying on in _New-England_. Night and day JESUS fills me with
his love. My bodily strength is daily renewed. The LORD is pleased
to open my mouth wide; praise him for it. I have preached twice, and
talked, and walked much to day. My dear man, good-night. The LORD be
with you!
Ever, ever yours, in the most adorable JESUS,
_G. W._
