Chapter LXXXVIII: Letter MLIII: To Mr. G――――

_New-York, July 30, 1754._

_My very dear Friend_,

SHALL we once more see each other in the flesh? I hope so.――To-morrow, GOD willing, I preach at _Newark_; on _Wednesday_, two in the afternoon, at _New-Brunswick_; and hope to reach _Trent-Town_ that night. Could you not meet me there quietly, that we might spend one evening together? You must bring a chair;――I have no horse, and will then once more venture your throwing me down. Mr. _V――――_ passes me from hence to _Brunswick_, and Mr. _S――――_ to _Trent-Town_. If you cannot come, I will get Mr. _S――――_ to carry me on till we meet you. O that the LORD JESUS may smile on my feeble labours. Here I trust he hath given us a blessing. Yesterday I preached thrice: this morning I feel it. Welcome weariness for JESUS! O how little can I do for him! I blush and am confounded. Pray heartily for me; and if business will permit, come away to, my very dear friend,

Yours most affectionately in our common LORD,

_G. W._
