LETTER DCCCCLXXVIII.
T o Lady H――n.
London, June 20, 1753.
Ever-honoured Madam, I HAVE been unaccountably detained in London longer than I expected, but am just now setting out for Portsmouth. However, I cannot help sending your Ladyship the inclosed. It hath set me at liberty, and fully convinced me, against what a disguised spirit I have been testifying. At present, I shall go on in my old way, preaching the everlasting gospel. Blessed be God, it is successful here. We had a most glorious sacrament last Sunday in our new
Tabernacle; the Master of the feast was with us of a truth. As I purpose returning from Portsmouth next Tuesday, I should think myself highly honoured by receiving a few lines from your Ladyship. May this find you in the blissful enjoyment of him, who I am persuaded is your Ladyship's all in all! I can only add, that words cannot well express how much I am, everhonoured Madam,
Your Ladyship's most dutiful, obliged, and ready servant for Christ's sake,
G. W.
