She appeard to have a great struggle & desird all present
to pray for her; but on the morning of her death, she lifted up
her hands & shouted Victory, Victory, Victory; thro the Blood
of the Lamb there she said I see Mr Wesley & some of the
Heavenly Host; she died rejoicing that night. "Precious in the
sight of the Lord is the death of his saints". Her sister
calld on me when I was at Burley, & not being at home she
left a five pd note which she said was from her sister; also she
had desird her to give Priscilla a guinea for her kind attention
to me. How good is the Lord: I had: had a time of expence but [?how]
is it made up by y^r & her kindness etc. The times here also are
very trying, provisions was never known so dear & trade very
dull, but blessed be God our county is deliverd from the late disturbance
surely the people of God had need humble themselves & pray that the
Lord may be intreated to restore peace to the Nations of the Earth.
I have mislaid the last letter & cannot recollect what was said of
y^r B^rbut I trust the Lord heard prayer in his behalf. My kind
Love to d^r Miss Booth who I hope continues in health. Prisey desires
her duty & grateful thanks to you she has just rec^d her 5th [illeg]
[illeg]; she has not been quite so well since my illness it was
a time of great fatigue that I had to [illeg] a fortnight day & night.
I must now conclude with requesting a continuance in [?your]
prayers; Praying yr life may
be lengthened for a blessing to hundreds

PS My sight is much dimer which makes writing very
difficult & reading more so, Mr Hey thinks when health
will permit another operation on the Left Eye will be of
use. I mention it, that you & d^{r Miss J may ask [?counsel]
of the Lord for me I feel a shrinking, but wd desire
to leave myself with the Lord}

my few remaining days; never did I see time
as important as now! & feel such a heed of
redeeming it; that I may get a greater {?meeting}
to dwell with Him in Eternal Glory.

My Very D[ea]^{r Madam
your kind and Profitable Letter with its inclosd contents dated June I : did not reach here, till June 7; I was at Mr J Dickensons at Burley with our D[ea]r friend when it arrivd, I staid near A Week & found the fine clear air of that place very [?restortory] & returnd home much stronger than I went; but am still very feeble, & can bear no fatigue. My friends kindly [wngd?] my longer story, but after so many weeks confinement various things requird me at home. I may indeed say I have been on the borders of Eternity, & provd Jesus such a Saviour in that time of need as I cannot expriss: He enabled me sweetly to resign up all below; I look forward with joyful hope of seeing Him as He is; hwere the inhabitants will no more say I am sick; & joining with my many d[ea]r friends who are gone before in adoring the Saviour; & giving Glory to God & the Lamb for ever & ever. I still see Eternity exceeding near, & nothing of [?such] importance but [?me] it influences me with regard to the World to come; O for a greater power to glorify my God}
