 LETTER CXCV.

To T T, Esq; in London.

My dear Friend and Brother,     Savannah, June 7, 1740.  I Wrote to you very lately; but your kind letter is now before me, and I cannot forbear answering it: Blessed be, that you still look upon me as your friend. May the friend of all, unite us in the best bonds, and bring us to himself at last! I long to see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven. I have now such large incomes from above, and such precious communications from our dear, that my body sometimes can scarcely sustain them. Our dear Brother H's letter (which I desire you may see) will shew you what a work is begun at Savannah. I am in great hopes, that six or seven boys and girls are really coming to. Dear Brother Hn sojourns with us. I love him, and all the brethren, in the bowels of. I am now looking for some strong attacks from satan. The comforts me on every side, and lets me see my desire in the salvation of many souls. O, dear Mr. T, forget not Your weak unworthy friend and brother in,  G. W.     LETTER CXCVI. To Mr. M.

Dear Mr. M     Savannah, June 11, 1740.

I Am not uneasy, but rather joyful, to find lets you see more and more into the misery of your depraved nature. I pray, these convictions may still increase, and that you may not fall short of a saving union with. I am concerned to find you have lost a sense of your first love.—Take heed, my dear friend, and wrestle with your dear , till he lets you see the root of bitterness that must certainly be in some corner of your heart. Perhaps you have not renounced the world and your own righteousness, and then no wonder our doth not manifest himself to your soul.
