Chapter CCXLV: Letter CCXLV: To Mr. W―――― D――――, at Boston

_On board the Minerva, for England, Jan. 17, 1741._
_Dear Sir_,

MR. _P――――_ hath just brought me your kind letter. Blessed be GOD, that his word runs and is glorified in _Boston_. Surely, dear Sir, I shall never forget that people; indeed, they are very near and dear unto my soul. May those of your own household, in particular, be not only convicted but converted; may the dear JESUS fill you with all peace and joy in believing, and enable you to pray for, dear Sir,

Yours in the blessed JESUS,

_G. W._

P. S. Excuse great haste; our ship is just under sail. My dear companions kindly salute you and yours.
