BEING detained so long at Mr. C.'s, I could not easily get back, as was proposed. This comes to request of you, as yon proposed going to Richmond, to get a coach, and come to my house in it, on Sunday morning, as my wife wants to go down with me to see the children. If you agree to this, send John with a line to me to-day; because if you do not approve of it, I shall go down by the stage oil Saturday, and return on Monday: but I had rather go with you on Sunday morning, and return the same day at night. You must be at my house by eight o'clock, or half-past eight, or we shall not be in time.
I have some small degree of confidence at this time, that when Satan hath ended all his temptations, which at this time are neither few nor weak, that I shall return in the power of the Spirit. However, something or other will be brought up from these depths, where many billows and waves have rolled over me: but enough of this, as I am no prophet, and in no sense better than nothing; time will shew it. But this I will say, that I can subscribe myself, dear Brother,
Your's in the strongest ties,
W. HUNTINGTON.
