Charles-Town, March 4, 1770.
Dear Mrs. H——e,
ALTHOUGH at such a distance, I cannot forget Mrs. H——e and her daughter, and all their works of faith and labours of love. I doubt not, but this will find them on the full stretch for heaven, and as usual abounding in the work of the Lord. It leaves me almost ready to return to Bethesda, from a place where, I trust, the word hath run and been glorified. Matters are now drawing near to a wished-for close. All things have succeeded beyond my most sanguine expectation. I expect to come according to the appointed time. But future things belong to Him who orders all things well. Through mercy I enjoy more bodily health than for many years last past. You will join in crying, Grace! grace! Next month, I purpose moving to the northward. As Mr. W——t is the main spring at the Orphan-house, I must leave him behind. Mr. Smith is with me: he behaves well, and is diligent and attentive. You will be so good as to remember me to all, as they come in your way. I hope my good old Mrs. Eades, at Tottenham-Court, is well. That she and all may ripen for heaven every day and every hour, is the earnest prayer of, dear Mrs. H——e,
Less than the least of all,
G. W.
