Chapter CCCI: Letter MCCLXVIII: To the Reverend Mr. T――――

_Edinburgh, September 2, 1762._

I AM just this moment returned from _Glasgow_, where I have been enabled to preach every day, and twice at _Cambuslang_. Auditories were large, and JESUS smiled upon my feeble labours. GOD willing, I shall leave this place on _Wednesday_ next; but I despair of seeing you. I have heard nothing of Mr. _M――――n_ and _V――――n_ since I left them at _Leeds_. What a mercy, that we are sure of meeting in heaven! Surely, you will not go before me thither. Must it be always _juniores priores_? Adieu. Cordial respects await your whole self. LORD JESUS be with your spirits! I fear the carrier will be gone. Accept these few rusty filings from, my very dear friend,

Yours, &c. &c. &c. in our glorious JESUS,

_G. W._

_September 9._

Thus far I went on _Friday_; but found that was the wrong day to send. Since then, I have been helped to preach every day. The Kirk hath been a _Bethel_. Grace! grace! On _Monday_, GOD willing, I shall set off. Follow with your prayers.

Yours, &c. &c.

_G. W._
