My Dear Sister

I had Yesterday a Comfortable letter from good Mr Ingham. He tells me that Mr Rogers has been to see him but Made but a very short stay. He preach’d at the Monthly meetings of the Societys at Wakefield and expounded several times. He goes on Courageously. The Works goes wonderfully on at Notingham. Vast Numbers are awaken’d. The beginning of the Week 3 friends came to Osst to see him. Mr Delamotte from Cambridge: an Englishman that has been a bove A Year a mong the Moravian Brethren and one of the Moravian Brethren. He was one of the first that fled out of Moravia to Hemhut: He is a fine Brother that has great Experience in Christ. His Brother is Lord of a Manner in Moravia which would have been his Inheritance if He would have Staid in Moravia and been a Papist but he Counted all things but Dross and dung for Christ Jesus. I believe He will stay with him sometime. He can speak a little English.

Whoever Cares to give anything to the Orphan House at Hemut May send it to John Thorod Esqr. in St James’s place London or to Mr Hutton Bookseller or to Mr How in Notingham and this Brother Will receive it as he returns. You’l find our friends Here when you see them [ ] knows Nothing of what I have here told you. God in his good time will I trust open their Eyes that they may know the things that belong to their peace whch is only to be had in Christ Jesus. When we are united with him all division will cease May be the object of our desires the delight of our souls and the darling of our Hearts now and for ever My Dear Sister Adieu

M.H.

You’l pay for this I know.
