LETTER MLV.
T o Mr. V――.
Philadelphia, August 15, 1754.
My very dear Mr. V――, ONCE more, after having my cables out ready (as I thought) to cast anchor within the port, I am constrained to put out to sea again. My late sickness, though violent, hath not been unto death. O that it may be to the glory of God! With some difficulty I can preach once a-day. Congregations rather increase than decrease; and many, O strange! are desirous of my making a longer stay. But the time is fixed for next Tuesday, and all the following days till Sunday, are to be employed between this and NewBrunswick. There I am informed some execution was done. Whilst I live,
Lord Jesus, grant I may not live in vain. I could enlarge, but really am so faint, that I have been obliged to stop, and can now with difficulty subscribe myself, my very dear friend, Yours most affectionately in our common Lord,
G. W.
