_To Mr. Thomas G――――, at London._
_Dundee, October 21, 1741._
_Dear Brother G――――_,
YOU will see, by the following, what GOD is still doing for me.
On _Wednesday_ night last I left _Aberdeen_, after preaching there
seven times, besides expounding in private. Before I came among them,
numbers were much prejudiced against me; but GOD was pleased to attend
my ministry with such power, that all opposition fell before me. Many
were brought under great convictions. The magistrates made me free of
the city; and the people much regretted my speedy departure from them.
On _Thursday_ last I preached at _Stonhithe_ and _Benham_; on _Friday_,
thrice at _Montrose_; on _Saturday_ twice, and on _Sunday_ thrice at
_Brechen_, and lectured in the evening at a private house. On _Monday_
I preached twice at _Forfar_; on _Tuesday_ twice at _Coupar_, in
_Angus_; and once at _Dundee_, five miles from _Coupar_, at four in
the afternoon, and again at night; here I have also preached twice
this day. The presence of GOD accompanies me more and more. Wherever
I have preached, I hear of the good fruits of it, both in convicting
sinners, and reviving saints. At _Dundee_, the concern among the
hearers is very remarkable. People are still more desirous to hear the
word. But, GOD willing, I purpose shortly to set out for _England_.
My dear brother, pray for me, that I may be humble and thankful. I am
glad to hear your wife is recovered. My love to her, and all friends.
I am, with cordial affection, Dear brother _G――――_,
Ever yours in CHRIST,
_G. W._
