_To Mr. T―――― G――――, in London._
_Edinburgh, Sep. 24, 1741._
_My very dear Brother_,
THIS serves to inform you, that on _Sunday_ last I preached here four
times, twice in a church, and twice in the fields; in the evening I
collected twenty pounds for the royal infirmary. On _Monday_ morning,
I visited the children in three hospitals, and preached in the evening
in the park; also at _Kinglassy_, _Aberdour_, and _Innerkeithing_, on
_Tuesday_ and _Wednesday_. On _Thursday_ I visited the prison, and in
the evening preached to the children of the city, with a congregation
consisting of near twenty thousand in the park. It is remarkable that
many children are under convictions, and every where great power and
apparent success attend the word preached. Calls to divers places,
are so numerous and importunate, that I think it my duty to stay
in _Scotland_ some time longer: being in haste, can say not more at
present. My love to all that love the LORD JESUS.
Your most affectionate friend, brother, and servant,
_G. W._
