LETTER DII.
T o Mr. H――, at Gloucester.
London, Feb. 4, 1743.
My very dear Mr. H――, I Bless God on your behalf. I thank him for visiting your dear soul, and making you useful to others.—Assuredly the Lord has called you to your present work.—Abide in it. Go on and prosper. The Lord will be with you.
If we have an association in Wiltshire soon, will you chuse to be with us? I expect shortly now to move hence; but my way is quite blocked up from going abroad. I will send you word, when I shall be at Bristol. I will salute you and your friend with, "Come in, ye blessed of the Lord." I have just published a fresh account of the Orphan-house, and prefixed the plan. I shall be glad to hear from you often. Be as particular in respect to the society as you can. The Lord is still with us. Blessed be his holy name! My tender love to all. That the glorious Emmanuel may be with your soul more and more, is the hearty prayer of, my dear Mr. H――,
Yours most affectionately,
G. W.
