LETTER MCCCXLIV.
T o Mr. H――y.
Bath, June 12, 1766.
LAST night we lay at the Devizes. This morning we breakfasted at ShawHouse, near Melksom, with Mr. C――n. In my way hither, I called upon Mrs. E――n. Her account of Miss Winter's decease, was by no means unpleasant. She was taken suddenly, and though speechless, continued to smile upon all in a very remarkable manner, till the last gasp, which was with much struggle. Mr. P――s is left executor of the will. Being weary with riding, I think to stay here till after Sunday morning's sermon, and then shall set off for Bristol. The horse turns out exceeding well in every respect.
I hope you, my dear Sir, got safe to London. That you and all your dear relations, and all dear friends in town, may, in the glorious Emmanuel's due time, arrive triumphant in heaven, earnestly prays, my very dear Sir,
Yours, &c. &c. in Jesus, G. W.
