LETTER DXIX. To Mr. H
.
London, May 31, 1743.
My dear Mr. H , Friend and Brother,
ALL last week, do what I would, I could not find freedom to write a line, though I expected our dear brother ELord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. After this, I expect to hear of another shock: but I know you are the Lord's, and he will take care of your souls. As Mr. E is going on board, I have not time to say half I would. I fear I am sinfully impatient to see you. The time will come by and by. Hasten it, O Lord, if it be thy blessed will! Our Saviour does greater things for me every day. Last Sunday morning, I collected 23l. for the orphans in Moor-fields. It would amaze you to see the great congregations, and wonderful presence of the Lord. Grace! grace! I have paid all that is due in England, and have sent you 25l. by the bearer. God willing, I shall remit you more soon. Pray give my humble respects to dear Mr. J , and tell him, our Saviour will enable me to pay him all soon with a thousand thanks. I sent you 100l. by my brother's ship, and a packet of letters. I hope they came safe to hand. But I must have done. Salute my dear family, and believe me to be, though now in great haste, dear man,
, the bearer of this, to fail every hour. But now I know why he was detained, and I restrained. This morning, to my unspeakable satisfaction, I saw a letter from our dear brother G , dated April 13th, wherein he acquainted me of the welfare of the dear family, and of another out-pouring of the spirit among you. O! my soul does magnify theEver yours,
G. W.
