LETTER MCCCXV.
T o Mr. R―― K――n.
New-York, August 25, 1764.
My very dear Friend, STILL am I kept as it were a prisoner in these parts, by the heat of the weather. All dissuade me from proceeding southward till the latter end of September. My late excursions upon Long-Island, I trust have been blessed.
It would surprize you to see above a hundred carriages at every sermon in this new world. I am, through infinite mercy, still kept up. Dear Mr.
H――y's packet is not yet come to hand. I wrote to him and my dear wife very lately by a friend in the packet, and I have sent many letters for a letter-day to the care of Mr. E――s in Bristol. I thank dear Mr. L――d for his last by the packet. I wrote to him just before his came to hand. Tender, tender love to your whole self and to all.
Ever theirs, ever yours, &c. &c. in our Jesus, G. W.
