LETTER DCXCVIII.
T o the Reverend Mr. E――.
Edinburgh, Oct. 12, 1748.
Reverend and dear Sir, BY the providence of a good and gracious God, I came hither last night, after having preached at Falkirk in the morning. Mr. A―― behaved very kindly. Mr. N―― has Mr. M――'s letter. I am to see him at five this evening. On Tuesday next, God willing, I intend preaching for Mr. G――, and to leave Scotland the Tuesday following. In the mean while you may write what you please. But whither am I going? Let God direct. Let my name be forgotten, let me be trodden under the feet of all men, if Jesus may thereby be glorified. I wish you or Mr. M―― would write a line to Mr.
W――; I would not have any good, though mistaken man, uneasy upon my account. Well! In heaven all will be over. When I meet you there, I will thank you for all the pains you have taken with, reverend and dear Sir,
Yours most affectionately in Christ Jesus, G. W.
