LETTER MCCCXXV.
T o Mr. R―― K――n.
Savannah, February 18, 1765.
My very dear Friend, YESTERDAY we had a most cutting parting at Bethesda; but blessed be
God, for giving me to part from it in such comfortable circumstances! All arrears are paid off, cash, stock, and plenty of all kinds of provision beforehand, and under God, no danger, at least for this year, of going back; so that one great load is taken off. What shall I render unto the Lord of all Lords for this and all other his mercies?
Praise God, my soul, even unto death, And raise a song with every breath.
And now my thoughts turn toward England. As a proof of it, I have sent a box in the Friendship, Captain Ball, directed to you. The things in the box, for the most part, do belong to Mr. W――t, and all of them, if I die in my way to England. That will be a blessed voyage indeed! Brethren, pray for
us, pray for us; and assure yourselves of being never forgotten by, my dear old friend, Yours, theirs, &c. in everlasting bonds,
G. W.
