I CALLED a few days ago in Wigmore Street, and going into the parlour to ask how you did, I was informed you was moved to Hammersmith for the benefit of your health. I doubt not but my Friend's illness is in a measure owing to the distress of her mind. I have often thought that you laboured under some temptation, some feeling sense of sin, or a consideration of some parts of the scripture. I have not a single doubt but Satan keeps perpetually injecting something or other into your mind, and then tempts you to keep that secret for him; this I think is the grand cause of your present trouble of mind, which will at times affect the body also. You are best able to judge whether I have hit the right nail on the head.
However, I have been instrumental of conveying deliverance to many such, and I know you feel your need of deliverance also; and your reservedness is a bar to keep you in your present stronghold, and this conscience has often told you. I should be very glad to be of service to my Friend if she thought it worth her acceptance. I have had a deal of heavy work myself, and therefore understand something of it. I shall be at Richmond next Thursday, and will call on you in my journey thither, either to have a lunch with you or dinner, and then I shall see what sort of a house you keep in your country retirement. I know your residence, I have visited the sick there before. Farewell, the Lord bless thee. Excuse my liberty, as it proceeds from gospel affection, and believe me to be
Your most obedient and willing servant in Christ Jesus,
W. HUNTINGTON.
