Chapter CCCXX: Letter MCCLXXXVII: To the Reverend Mr. G――――

_Greenock, June 4, 1763._

STRANGE! that I should not see one whom I so dearly love. Dear Mr. _S――――_ will tell you the reasons. I expect to be called every moment. GOD bless and reward you and yours. The diploma was sent to _Edinburgh_ to be signed by Mr. _Trail_, but hath miscarried. I wrote to Mr. _Hamilton_ to send it by the _Diligence_, which is to sail in about six weeks to _Boston_. Expecting to be called every moment, I can only hasten to subscribe myself, reverend and very dear Sir,

Ever yours, &c. &c. in JESUS,

_G. W._
