LETTER MCCCCXX.
T o Mr. J――s.
Tottenham-Court, August 9, 1769.
My dear Captain, MY last to ――, will make you guess that my hands and heart are full.
Last night I went on board the Friendship; the Captain is to dine with me to-morrow. I expect to sail the first week in September at furthest. You must be then in town. Mr. Brooksbanks (if Mr. K――n does not come) will supply your place. I hope all things will be settled on a right plan. You may be assured of my having, under God, the greatest confidence in you. I only wish some means may be found out to save the late great expence of coach hire. It hath mounted very high. But more of this when we meet. Blessed be
God for smiling on your labours. This is the way; you need not be exhorted to continue to walk in it. God bless you! God bless you! Mr. K――n is expected from his Yorkshire tour on Saturday. All is well at home. Cordial love to all. Brethren, pray for us. With regret I am obliged to hasten to subscribe myself, my dear man,
Yours, yours, &c. &c. &c. in our never-failing Jesus, G. W.
