Chapter CDXLVI: Letter MCCCCXIII: To the Same

_Frome, May 8, 1769._

_My dear Friend_,

MANY thanks for your kind letter. A blessed day yesterday in _Bradford_ church. A blessed day here in the fields; thousands attended, all more than solemn. Mrs. _M――――re_ I hope was touched at _Bath_ last _Tuesday_ sevennight. Glorious prospect in these parts. Grace! grace! I am now going to _Chippenham_, _Castlecomb_, _Dursley_, _Rodborough_, _Painswick_, _Gloucester_, ♦_Cheltenham_, in my way to _London_. The west circuit must be deferred, on account of the opening the chapel at _Tunbridge_. I am easy about _London_, being so well supplied. GOD bless you all! All send cordial respects. _W――――s_’s inadvertencies grieve me. You will be punctual. I hope to answer Captain _J――――s_ in a post or two. Love and thanks to Mr. _E――――s_. LORD prosper the gospel plough! Adieu, I must away. Cease not to pray for, my dear Sir,

Yours, &c. in JESUS,

_G. W._
