Chapter CLXXXII: Letter MCXLVII: To the Reverend Mr. T――――

_Edinburgh, September 9, 1756._

_My very dear Friend_,

GLAD, yea very glad should I have been to have waited upon you at _C――――_. But it seems it was not to be. However, if I should return from _Glasgow_, GOD willing, I shall call upon you; if not, in heaven, in heaven we shall meet. GOD be with you and yours! I am just going off. O these partings! they are cutting. I trust JESUS hath been walking amidst the golden candlesticks. You will hear particulars from others. I have only time to beg the continuance of your prayers, and with hearty love to your yoke-fellow, Mr. _C――――_, and his spouse, to subscribe myself, my very dear friend,

Yours most affectionately in our common LORD,

_G. W._
