My very dear Friend,     Charles-Town, Feb. 1, 1752.

I Long to write to, and inform you, that I love you in the bowels of, and earnestly pray, that you may go on from strength to strength, and increase with all the increase of. This leaves unworthy me, endeavouring to do something for Him on this side the water. Glory be to his great name, he causes his work to prosper in my worthless hands. The Orphan-house is in a flourishing way, and I hope will yet become a useful seminary. My poor labours in this place meet with acceptance; and after one more trip to Georgia, I purpose setting out upon my Spring campaign. Follow me with your prayers; and who knows but we may meet once more on this side heaven. Our dear Mr. H I find is to be detained longer from thence. I think he will live to bury many stronger men. I wish Lisbon may be blessed to Dr. D; and O how do I wish that dear Dr. S was fully employed in preaching the everlasting gospel! Pray salute him tenderly in my name, and beg him to renounce the world for. I hope you both write to, and see our good Lady Hn frequently. I was rejoiced to hear, from my dear yoke-fellow, that her Ladyship was bravely: this was joy indeed. May she long live to be a blessing! That is all in all. O that I may begin to be in earnest! It is a new year; quicken my tardy pace, and help me to do much work in a little time! This is my highest ambition. The fill me with this ambition more and more! For the present, adieu. Accept this as a token of your not being forgotten by, reverend and very dear Sir,

Yours most affectionately in our dear , G. W.
