Chapter CCII: Letter DCXCVIII: To the Reverend Mr. E――――

_Edinburgh, Oct. 12, 1748._

_Reverend and dear Sir_,

BY the providence of a good and gracious GOD, I came hither last night, after having preached at _Falkirk_ in the morning. Mr. _A――――_ behaved very kindly. Mr. _N――――_ has Mr. _M――――_’s letter. I am to see him at five this evening. On _Tuesday_ next, GOD willing, I intend preaching for Mr. _G――――_, and to leave _Scotland_ the _Tuesday_ following. In the mean while you may write what you please. But whither am I going? Let GOD direct. Let my name be forgotten, let me be trodden under the feet of all men, if JESUS may thereby be glorified. I wish you or Mr. _M――――_ would write a line to Mr. _W――――_; I would not have any good, though mistaken man, uneasy upon my account. Well! In heaven all will be over. When I meet you there, I will thank you for all the pains you have taken with, reverend and dear Sir,

Yours most affectionately in CHRIST JESUS,
_G. W._
