To Hannah Ball Date: LONDON, February 21, 1772. MY DEAR SISTER, You have indeed reason to be thankful that God has at length turned the captivity of His people; and your preachers Samuel Wells and William Barker. have good encouragement to be zealous for God, since they see the fruit of their labours. On Monday se'nnight I expect one of them at least will meet me at Newbury. How happy you are who have none of those dissensions which have torn that poor Society in pieces! Pray that you may all continue of one mind, striving together for the hope of the gospel, and inviting all to press after full salvation. My dear sister, Your ever affectionate brother.
