LETTER MCCCXL.
To Mr. R—— K——n.
Bristol, March 17, 1766.
My dear Mr. K——n,
THE uncertainty of my motions hath made me slow in writing, and a desire to be a while free from London cares, hath made me indifferent about frequent hearing from thence. In a day or two, I hope matters will be determined. If Mr. S——d comes, I have a mind to stay a little longer; and if dear Mr. Howell D—— will continue to officiate, I have a mind to visit Wales for him. Last Friday evening, and twice yesterday, I preached at Bath, to very thronged and brilliant auditories. I am told it was a very high day. The glory of the Lord filled the house. To-morrow, God willing, I return thither again. Mr. T——d is too ill to officiate. If any urgent business requires, be pleased to direct either to this place or Bath. Pray shew my wife this. I hope no news is good news. I trust that the holy Spirit is moving in Mr. ——’s family, both on the heads and the servants of it. Many do think old times are coming round again. Pray tell Mr. W——r, that I think the letters he hath sent need not go to Scotland as yet. I sent a packet thither last week. This I write in the midst of company. Lady H——n is mounting on her high places. I wished my two steady friends at Bath yesterday. Mr. S——t hath met with a great blessing. Pray, pray for us. All send due respects. Tuesday or Wednesday next I hope to write again to my wife. Cordial respects and love attend her, your whole self, dear Mr. H——y and sisters, Mr. Howell D——, and all that are so kind to enquire after and pray for, my dear Sir,
Theirs, yours, &c. &c. in our never-failing Jesus,
G. W.
