Gloucester, May 25, 1767.
My dear Friend,
I AM just setting out in a post-chaise for Haverford-west; and have, therefore, drawn upon you in favour of Mr. ——, for twenty pounds. This is expensive. But it is for one, who hath promised not to send us a warfare on our own charges. We had a most blessed season yesterday. Thousands and thousands, I trust, heard, saw, and felt. Mr. Adams preached in the evening on, “The Lord is my portion, therefore will I trust in him.” A good text for a new-married man. I have advised him to preach next on these words, “The Lord’s portion is his people:” he is now here. I expected a line. Be pleased to direct to Haverford-west. I beseech you follow me with your prayers. O that the Lord may be my strength. O that he may quicken my tardy pace, and make me all alive for his glorious interest! I could enlarge, but must away. My tender love awaits you and yours. The Lord Jesus bless you, and fill you with all his fulness. Thus prays, my dear steady friend,
Yours in our common Lord,
G. W.
