To Penelope Newman Date: NEAR BRISTOL, March 6, 1772. MY DEAR SISTER, You are called to do all you can for God. How little is that all! Therefore by all means meet that other class, and it will be a blessing to your own soul. When I talked with you last, God had given you to enjoy a clear deliverance from inbred sin. I hope you do not find any return of that deadness, though doubtless you will find numberless temptations. Yet beware you cast not away that confidence which hath great recompense of reward. You need never more feel pride, anger, or any other evil temper. The Lord loveth you, and His grace is sufficient for you. Ask, and receive, that your joy may be full. I am, my dear sister, Yours affectionately.
