You will not forget to persevere in praying for a poor, worthless, but willing pilgrim, who dearly loves you, and daily rejoices in the pleasing reflection, that he shall ere long meet you in a better world, where the inhabitants shall no more say, “I am sick.” Blessed prospect! Surely on the very mentioning it, you will break forth in singing,
Rejoice, the Lord is king, &c.
I will not interrupt you. Adieu. The Lord Jesus be with your spirits. Only when you have done singing, my dear fellow-labourers, my dear Tabernacle-hearers, forget not to subjoin at least one petition, that whether absent or present, Jesus may be more and more precious to,
Your affectionate friend, and willing servant, for his great name’s sake,
G. W.
LETTER MCCXCI.
To all my dear Tottenham-Court Hearers, that love the Lord Jesus Christ in Sincerity.
Virginia, September 1, 1763.
Dearly Beloved in the Lord,
