LETTER MCCLXXXI.
To Mrs. W——.
Edinburgh, March 19, 1763.
Dear Mrs. W——,
I WAS quite concerned to see you so ill as I passed by you. I charge you to want for nothing. Speak to Messrs. K——n or H——y: they will supply you at any time. Do not be afraid to go to the Tabernacle house. I will own and stand by my dear steady and faithful servants and helpers. Such a one you have been. O for heaven! There are no thorns and briars amongst God’s people there. May our present ones fit us more and more for that place where
Sin and strife and sorrow cease,
And all is calm and joy and peace.
Follow me with your prayers. Tender love to all the conference. I have no doubt of the Lord’s being with them. God be with you all evermore! We have had good seasons at Everton, Leeds, Newcastle, &c. in the way. Grace! grace! In about a month I expect to sail. A good stock of prayers in that time, may be laid up for, dear Betty, my old faithful friend and servant,
Yours, &c. &c. in Jesus,
G. W.
