LETTER MCXLV.
T o Mrs. C――.
Islington, July 27, 1756.
Dear Mrs. C――, SINCE my last, which I believe is not yet gone, I have given an order to have Mr. R――'s children delivered to him or his mother, or whomsoever they shall appoint: and pray lessen the family as much as possible. I wish I had none in the house, but what were proper orphans. The plantation would then suffice for its support, and debts be paid: but we must buy our experience. Troubles seem to beset us here: but we are all secure in God, even in a God in Christ. His gospel flourishes in London. I am just returned from preaching it at Sheerness, Chatham, and in the camp. This afternoon or to-morrow I set off for Scotland. I can only add, that with continual prayers for your temporal and spiritual welfare, I am, dear Mrs. C――,
Your most affectionate, obliged friend, and ready servant for Christ's sake, G. W.
P. S. My hearty love to all. The Lord be with you! Amen, and Amen!
