Chapter CCCXCI: Letter MCCCLVIII: To Mr. and Mrs. D――――n

_Haverford-west, June 1, 1767._

_My very dear Friends_,

YOU will be so kind as to shew all manner of _Bethesda_ civilities to the bearer, Mr. _Edward E――――n_. I trust, he hath been truly moved by the Holy Ghost, to enter into the ministry. With him I hoped to have sent the charter, or rather brought it; but the hour is not yet come. You will be glad to hear, that I have strength to preach in the fields. They are yet white ready unto harvest. Hoping to put forth the gospel sickle again in my beloved _America_, and wishing you all to increase with all the increase of GOD, with ten thousand thanks for all your works of faith, and labours of unfeigned love, I hasten to subscribe myself, my very dear friends,

Ever yours, &c. &c. &c. in the best bonds,

_G. W._
