 LETTER DCCVI.

To the Rev. Mr. M.

London, Nov. 10, 1748.

Reverend and dear Sir, OUR bountiful and good  brought me here in safety the beginning of this week. I have already waited upon, and preached at good Lady H's. About thirty have desired to come, and I suppose they will bring thirty more. I have heard of two or three more dear christians among the Great Ones.

She intends to send you down the picture of poor Aaron the late negroe preacher. I find the public papers give strange lying accounts of my reception in Scotland.

I send you my repeated thanks for all favours; and, with hearty love to dear Mr. G, your family, and all friends, I subscribe myself, reverend and very dear Sir, Your most affectionate, obliged, though unworthy younger brother and servant in, G.
