My dear Mr. W——hy,
I SUPPOSE you have heard, that all arrived safe at Georgia, February 26. The very moment they cast anchor, fifteen miles from Savannah, an opportunity offered to send a few lines. This is the reason no other letters are yet come. More may be expected daily. Be so good as to send a line of information to Essex. I believe an opportunity will soon present, to write by the ship bound for Savannah. My packet is to come up early next week. We finish at Bath next Sunday. About a week more I stay in Bristol, or thereabouts. Good seasons every where. What a mercy, that while the potsherds of the earth are dashing each other in pieces, the great Head of the church is building up his spiritual Jerusalem! That you and yours may be daily built up in the most holy faith, earnestly prays,
Less than the least of all,
G. W.
LETTER MCCCCXII.
To Mr. R—— K——n,
Bristol, May 4, 1769.
My dear old Friend,
THIS evening we are to have a love feast; yesterday had a good field preaching at Kingswood. The night before I preached here. God willing, to-morrow here again. Sunday morning at Bradford. Monday at Frome. Then Chippenham, and other parts of Gloucestershire. I designed to go to Plymouth, but I have such a cold, and the weather begins to be so warm, that I know not how the issue will be. Hitherto, blessed be God, we have had golden seasons. A letter may be sent by Saturday’s post, to Mr. B——s, at Frome. I hope all continues to go on well. Brethren, pray for us! I sent some letters for Georgia, to the care of Mr. W——hy, but have heard nothing from him. I wish you would write one line to my humble friend, and tell him he is enquired after every where, and all are glad to hear of his safe arrival. Grace! grace! That all may prosper both in soul and body, earnestly prays, my dear old friend,
