To Mr. R—— K——n.
Philadelphia, November 14, 1763.
My dear old Friend,
THIS comes by one Mr. R——, reputed to be a real christian and an expert tradesman, but greatly afflicted with a nervous head-ach. He will be glad of some spiritual acquaintance. Fain would he have had me under his roof. I wish he may get help, but I think we have got our life warrant. Mr. Cruttenden I find is released; and a dear minister of New-York got free on Saturday. I am here yet, left behind, and now about to make my first excursion to the New-Jersey college. Twice a week preaching, is my present allowance. Many of various ranks seem to be brought under real concern. Physicians are absolutely against my going to Georgia, till I get more strength. Besides, it is doubtful whether the southern Indians will not break out, and therefore a little stay in these parts may on that account be most prudent. Lord Jesus, direct my goings in thy way! Accept my wonted general salutation; tender love to all. You and yours will not cease to pray for, my dear steady friend,
Yours, &c. in Jesus,
G. W.
