Your worthless, though most obliged, affectionate, and ready servant for Christ’s sake,

LETTER MLIII.
To Mr. G——.
New-York, July 30, 1754.
My very dear Friend,
SHALL we once more see each other in the flesh? I hope so.—To-morrow, God willing, I preach at Newark; on Wednesday, two in the afternoon, at New-Brunswick; and hope to reach Trent-Town that night. Could you not meet me there quietly, that we might spend one evening together? You must bring a chair;—I have no horse, and will then once more venture your throwing me down. Mr. V—— passes me from hence to Brunswick, and Mr. S—— to Trent-Town. If you cannot come, I will get Mr. S—— to carry me on till we meet you. O that the Lord Jesus may smile on my feeble labours. Here I trust he hath given us a blessing. Yesterday I preached thrice: this morning I feel it. Welcome weariness for Jesus! O how little can I do for him! I blush and am confounded. Pray heartily for me; and if business will permit, come away to, my very dear friend,
Yours most affectionately in our common Lord,
G. W.
