LETTER MCCXLIII.
To Mrs. C——.
London, February 23, 1761.
Dear Mrs. C——,
IT is almost an age now, since I heard from my dear family in the wilderness. How came I not to have one line by Mr. Young? Ere now I hope you have received my last by Captain Ball. When shall I get leave to come over? Perhaps my heart is too much set upon it. Father, thy will be done! This is my comfort; the Redeemer’s work is upon the advance. All opposition is over-ruled for the furtherance of the gospel. A new instrument is raised up out of Cambridge university. He has been here preaching like an angel of the churches indeed. My wife is poorly, but joins in sending hearty love. All your relations are well. Pray give my blessing to the children, and thank them all for their letters. I would have all the boys put out as soon as of age. The work prospers here much. Hoping every day to receive a line, and sending you my most hearty blessing, thanks and love, I subscribe myself, dear Mrs. C——,
Your most affectionate obliged friend, and ready servant in our glorious Emmanuel,
G. W.
