  • judices to subside, and makes my formerly most bitter enemies

to be at peace with me. O Rev. Sir, help me to praise him, whose mercy endureth for ever! I doubt not but he has been wonderfully good to you, and supports you under a feeble tottering tabernacle. The prayers of me and mine are always for you, because we honour and love you in our common head, the blessed Jesus. Be pleased, when you write, to present my most dutiful and affectionate respects to the Professor,

and Mr. Ulspurgher. I have had some sweet times with several of the Lutheran ministers at Philadelphia. I love them dearly. Mr. Drisezler does bravely at Frederica. Mr. Boltzius and his collegue I hear are well. By and by, I trust, Georgia will lift up its drooping head.—All is well at the Orphan-house. I am, Rev. and very dear Sir,

 Your most affectionate, though unworthy younger brother and servant in Christ, G. W.

LETTER DLXXV. To Mr. H—— H——.


Anapolis, (Maryland,) Nov. 8, 1746.

My very dear, dear Brother,

I Just now received a wished-for packet from England, in which are two or three letters from you. My dear fellow pilgrim will exceedingly rejoice at the receipt of them. She is gone forward with a Boston young lady towards Georgia.—I hear they traverse the woods bravely.—I wrote to you very lately.—I can only send you a few loving lines now.—I am just setting out.—Lately I have been in seven counties in Maryland, and preached with abundant success.—Our Lord gives me health, and his work (O free grace!) prospers in my unworthy hands. I shall consider of the calls sent me to return to my native country.—My tender love to all.—I am, my very dear man,

Ever yours whilst

G. W.
