LETTER MCCCCXXXV.
T o Mr. R―― K――n.
Deal, September 17, 1769.
My very dear Friend, AS I have no parcel, I am ready almost to think somebody is coming. I am just returned from Ramsgate, and going on board. Never did any creature shew greater civility, heartiness, politeness, and generosity than Mr.
B――ry. His friends were hearty too. Indeed and indeed I believe solid good was done at Ramsgate. I preached on Friday and Saturday. It was hard parting this morning. I expect a long passage. But all is well. I am kept comfortable. I could not go to Margate. Friends that write, should direct where the letters are to be returned. I am glad Mr. S――y is come. I shall write to Bath. Is my farewel sermon printed? That is what I meant; no packet is come. Tender love to all, to all. Never fear,
Satan thwarts and men object, And yet the thing they thwart effect.
Hallelujah!
I wish this may be the last letter, any may receive dated at the Downs, from, my very dear Sir, Less than the least of all, G. W.
