“DEAR SIR,— ... Be pleased to let Mr. Ingham know that I
intend going to Yorkshire, if not hindered by my father. God
has made Mr. Dickison the instrument of awakening his landlord
and landlady. I read to them at Mr. Fox’s an hour every other
day, in the Bishop of Man’s Catechism. Mr. Fox and his wife,
especially the former, are most zealous Christians; and are
earnestly bent on going to Georgia. So is Mr. Dickison, who
is ‘an Israelite indeed in whom there is no guile.’ I do not
doubt but we shall be able to send you a colony of thorough
good Christians. I have undertaken the care of Bocardo. I go
there three days in the week, and Mr. Broughton a fourth. I
read every Sunday night to a cheerful number of Christians at
Mr. Fox’s. I could say a great deal respecting our meetings,
etc.; but I am obliged to steal even this time from the holy
Scriptures, in which I find more and more comfort every day.
Indeed, the Lord’s kingdom increaseth apace. My love to your
brother, and Mr. Ingham, and Mr. Delamotte; and best respects
to Mr. Oglethorpe. I should be very glad if you could spare me
some of your prayers, or anything else which may be of service
to me.
“I am, your brother in Christ Jesus,
“RICHARD MORGAN.
“To the Rev. Mr. John Wesley, in Georgia.”
Another unpublished letter lies before us, written by Sir John Thorold,
and breathing a most Christian spirit. Omitting what is purely
sentimental, we give the following extracts:—
“LONDON, ST. JAMES’S PALACE, _May 24, 1736_.
