The Life and Letters of the Rev. George Mortimer, M.A. / Rector of Thornhill, in the Diocese of Toronto, Canada West

by John Armstrong

TO THE REV. JOHN COOPER.

Yardley, July 31, 1826.

My dear Friend,

Our way towards Bristol appears to be opening. A very singular circumstance connected with it has just occurred. It seems to us all to be too pantomimic—too magical—to be true. But yet, what cannot the God of wisdom and of love effect! We are striving to wait, as you expressed yourself in a former letter about Madeley, “with interest but without anxiety” to see the result. Oh, what a comfort it is to feel calmly assured that, while we are leaving ourselves in God’s hands, all must eventually be well. Mary unites with me in kindest regards to yourself and dear Mrs. C—, and

I remain, my dear Friend,

Yours, very sincerely,
G. M.
