LETTER DCCCLX. To Mr. R.
London, Sept. 14, 1750.
My very dear Mr. R,
GLAD was I, yea very glad, to receive your kind letter about two days ago. I send you this in return, with ten thousand thanks for all favours conferred upon me, by you and yours.

He is a dear man, and I trust will yet be spared to write much for the Redeemer's glory. I have prevailed on him to sit for his picture, and it will be published in a short time. Two dozen of my pictures, as my friends so earnestly desired them, are sent directed to you. Be pleased to let them be disposed of, as shall be judged most proper. O that my heart might in some measure resemble the image of my dear Lord! You and yours will not fail to pray, that it may be written in lively characters, and that I may go on my way rejoicing. I never forget you or any other of my dear Scotch friends. Just now I have good news from Kendal; a young woman, whom God was pleased to awaken when I was there, went off lately (as my friend expresses it) "with flying colours." Grace! Grace! Lord, make me humble! Lord Jesus, make me truly thank-
