LETTER DCLIII.
T o the Reverend Mr. C――.
London, July 20, 1748.
My very dear Friend and Brother, NEITHER length of time, nor change of place, I trust, will ever estrange us from each other.—Though through the goodness of God I am now in England, yet I cannot help daily thinking upon you and my other dear friends in America. I have been prayed over hither: do you strive to pray me over again to South-Carolina. Much business now lies upon my hands. It is too much for one man, to be received as I have been by thousands. The thoughts of it lay me low, but I cannot get low enough. I would willingly sink into nothing before the blessed Jesus, my All in All. Next week I hope to see Bristol, where I shall not fail to enquire about your minister, and send you word accordingly. I hope you do not forget Bethesda or Providence. O my dear yoke-fellow, how is she carried through the Summer's sultry heat?
May the Lord be her helper! You will not fail to give my most cordial
respects to Mrs. B――, Dr. B――, his wife, and all friends. Fail not, O fail not to pray heartily for, Yours most affectionately in Christ Jesus,
G. W.
