Chapter CCXL: Letter CCXXXIX: To Mr. N. in New-York

_Charles-Town, Dec. 10, 1740._
_My very dear Brother_,

IN eight days, the LORD brought us hither. We arrived last night, when the Redeemer vouchsafed so to fill me with his divine consolations, that I could scarce sleep. I have been preaching this morning on the fire that happened of late from these words, Isa. i. 9. “Except the LORD of HOSTS had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as ♦_Sodom_, and we should have been like unto _Gomorrah_.” I am now determined to see _England_ as soon as possible. I have had much of GOD’s presence in our passage hither from _Philadelphia_, and have many precious letters to send you. O follow me with your prayers. I leave _Charles-Town_, GOD willing, to-night, in order to hasten to their relief, and shall go in the same sloop which brought me here, to my beloved _Georgia_. As soon as possible, I will send you a long letter. In the mean while, accept of my love from, dear Mr. _N――――_,

Your very affectionate friend and brother
and servant in CHRIST,

_G. W._
