And suffer me no more to plead;
No longer with the old Adam bear,
Lead on, dear Lord, consume him there.
Surely I shall be taken at my word. May Jesus support me in a trying hour! I still beg a continued interest in your prayers,—and hoping this will find you with a thriving soul in a healthy body, I subscribe my self, honoured Sir,
Your most obliged, affectionate, though unworthy younger brother, in the glorious Gospel,
G. W.
