LETTER MCCXIX.
To Mr. D——.
London, November 13, 1758.
My dear Mr. D——,
I WAS very glad to receive your kind letter dated August. Blessed be God that the family is so far reduced, and that I can send you word a never-failing Providence hath put it into my power to pay off all Bethesda’s arrears. I know this will gladden your heart, and strengthen your faith in the Lord God of Bethesda. As yet I hear nothing of the children. With this you have some bibles and other books. The Lord Jesus direct me about coming over! I long for an opportunity. I daily talk of it. But as yet the door seems to be shut. However, the door for preaching the gospel opens wider and wider. Neither the new chapel nor the Tabernacle are near big enough. An awakening as well as comforting influence attends the word, and I trust such are daily added to the church as shall be saved. I hope if Mr. Zubly settles in Georgia, you will receive frequent benefit from his ministry. You do not mention how J—— P—— is disposed of. I am sensible what a weight must now lie upon you and dear Mrs. C——. But he is faithful who hath promised, “that as our day is, so shall our strength be.” I wish you would send me a particular account of the state of my affairs, and let me know where the children are put out, how they behave, and whether the colony is in a growing situation. Grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied upon all! Amen, and Amen! My wife joins in sending cordial respects. My blessing to the children. I can but thank you a thousand and a thousand times for all your labours of love, and praying that great may be your reward in heaven, I subscribe myself, dear Mr. D——,
Yours, &c. in our glorious Head,
G. W.
