_To Captain G――――, in Philadelphia._
_London, April 22, 1742._
_Dear Brother G――――_,
I Hope this will find you very happy in the love of CHRIST. I was glad
to hear you had so good a time, before our friends left you. I wish
you no less, than that you may be filled with all the fulness of
GOD. We have had a glorious _Easter_, or rather a _Pentecost_. JESUS
CHRIST is risen indeed. I have been preaching in _Moorfields_, and our
Saviour carries all before us. Nought can resist his conquering blood.
It would have delighted you, to have seen the poor sinners flock from
the booths, to see JESUS lifted up on the pole of the gospel. I have
received many tickets from young apprentices, &c. &c. Our society
goes on wonderfully well. Every day we hear of fresh conquests. GOD’s
children are expecting very great things. I believe they will not be
disappointed of their hope. But I am in haste. Your wife was well the
last time I saw her. Brother _S――――_ and his wife have been to see
her.――My dear wife and brother _S――――_ kindly salute you, and all
that love our glorious _Emmanuel_. Pray write a line to, dear brother
_G――――_,
Yours, &c.
_G. W._
