LETTER MCCCCLVIII.
To Mr. K——n.
Savannah, April 24, 1770, Five in the morning.
My very dear Mr. K——n,
I AM just going into the boat, in order to embark for Philadelphia. I hope the good wine was kept to the last, on Sunday. Mr. D——n and his wife are to sail in about a fortnight. He is an honest creature, and an excellent accomptant. I have written strongly in his behalf. He will bring a large packet, and is to have —— pounds of you, which I have given him as a present. I have also drawn on you for £.——; perhaps shall draw no more for some time. This will prove a blessed year for me at the day of judgment. Hallelujah! Come Lord, come! Mr. Robert W——t hath herewith sent you a power of attorney, begging you would settle his affairs in Essex. He is worthy, for whom you should do this. A quiet, ingenious, good creature, and his wife an excellent mistress of the family. Such a set of helpers I never met with. They will go on with the buildings, while I take my gospel range to the northward. It is for thee, O Jesus, even for thee, thou never-failing Bethesda’s God! But I can no more at present. Hoping to write again soon from Philadelphia, and praying that all may increase with all the increase of God, I must hasten to subscribe myself, my dear, dear Sir,
Less than the least of all,
G. W.
