LETTER MCCLXXVIII.
T o Mr. R―― K――n.
Leeds, March 6, 1763.
My very dear Friend, YOU have heard, I suppose, of my progress to, and employ at Everton.
Jesus was there. Last Thursday evening we came to these parts, where I have preached twice, and been closely employed in writing my little piece entitled, Observations, &c. in answer to the Bishop of Gloucester. Perhaps a day or two more may compleat it. Say nothing, but pray on. The next letters may be directed to Edinburgh, under cover to ―― H――n, Esq.;
Post-Master general. You shall hear, God willing, when I have fixed upon a ship. And I know you will pray that Jesus may be my convoy.
Only Thou our leader be, And we still will follow Thee.
I could enlarge, but must away to my throne. Tell all at Tabernacle and Chapel, where this leaves me. I send them and your whole self most tender
love, and ten thousand thanks; and beg you would add to my obligations by praying for, my very dear friend, Yours, &c. &c. in our common Lord, G. W.
Postscript, To Mr. J――e.
My dear Sir, ACCEPT a few lines from an old friend that loves you and yours dearly. I would not be given to change, but, like my Master, love to the end. His blessing be on you both! Accept thanks unfeigned for all favours, and cease not to pray for, my very dear Mr. J――, Yours, &c. in Ours, G. W.
