LETTER DCCVI.
T o the Rev. Mr. M――.
London, Nov. 10, 1748.
Reverend and dear Sir, OUR bountiful and good God brought me here in safety the beginning of this week. I have already waited upon, and preached at good Lady H――'s.
About thirty have desired to come, and I suppose they will bring thirty more. I have heard of two or three more dear Christians among the Great
Ones. I know you will pray the Lord of all lords to increase the number. Her Ladyship hath a great regard for all those in Scotland, who stand up for vital religion. She intends to send you down the picture of poor Aaron the late negroe preacher. I find the public papers give strange lying accounts of my reception in Scotland. At present, blessed be the glorious Jesus, I am content to be blackened. I send you my repeated thanks for all favours; and, with hearty love to dear Mr. G――, your family, and all friends, I subscribe myself, reverend and very dear Sir,
Your most affectionate, obliged, though unworthy younger brother and servant in Christ Jesus, G. W.
