Within a few days, but not before, I received the hymn books, and hope to write to other friends in a few days by way of Londonderry. This day has been a good day indeed. Grace! grace!
LETTER MCCCXVII.
To Mr. S—— S——.
Nassau-Hall, September 25, 1764.
My very dear Friend,
AT length I am broke loose from my summer’s retreat, and have preached twice at Philadelphia. Many could say, “This was no other than the house of God, the gate of heaven.” Yesterday I came here, to preach at the commencement to-morrow. Surely it is one of the best regulated institutions in the world. But most importunate calls come from every quarter. So large is the range, that although I have been a twelvemonth in America, I have scarce begun to begin. At present I can only go strait forward, and preach in my way to Georgia. There I hope to be about Christmas. God knows how I am to be disposed of afterwards: whether to England, or to take another tour on the continent, is best known to Him who orders all things well.
