_To Mrs. T――――, in South-Carolina._
_Cambuslang, Aug. 18, 1742._
_My dear Friend_,
I Am glad to hear by your sister, that you are become a despised
follower of the lowly JESUS.――O glorious character! I am persuaded you
had rather have that title truly applied to you, than to be empress
of the universe. I long to see you, and to hear you tell what a happy
change you feel. How does dear Mr. _T――――_? Is he yet truly broken,
and going hand in hand with you to heaven? Happy pair!――I know, by
sweet experience, the comforts you enjoy. Death itself shall not part
you. I hope, nothing that has happened to dear Mr. _B――――_ will prove
a stumbling block to your soul. Such things must be glory to him, that
has said “all things shall work together for good.” My dear friends,
what a mystery is the christian life? Happy those, who are acquainted
with it. That it may be revealed more and more in your hearts, is the
earnest prayer of, dear friends,
Your most affectionate friend, brother and servant in CHRIST,
_G. W._
