Even so Lord Jesus, Amen and Amen! O that I had strength equal to my will. But indeed, honoured Madam, this body is a daily trial to me. Sometimes I can scarce drag the crazy load along. At present, I am too fatigued to enlarge. However, I would inform your Ladyship, that I do

I can only now commend your Ladyship and honoured relations to the God of all grace, and hasten to subscribe myself, honoured Madam,
Your Ladyship's most obliged and very chearful servant for Christ's sake, G. W.
