Chapter CLX: Letter MCXXV: To ―――― ――――

_London, April 1, 1756._

_Gentlemen_,

YOUR obliging letter came to hand last night. As my influence I fear was but very small, it scarce called for such an acknowledgment. I trust, my views to serve my GOD and my King are disinterested; and therefore I shall always think it my duty to espouse their cause, who are firmly united in the bonds of friendship and social love, to defend the protestant interest, and the glorious privileges we enjoy under our dread and rightful sovereign King _George_. Such a union I take yours to be.――That you may therefore meet with success on earth, and by an infinitely superior union (I mean that of your souls with GOD) be prepared for a never-ceasing union with the spirits of just men made perfect in heaven, is and shall be the hearty prayer of, Gentlemen,

Your obliged humble servant,

_G. W._
