Plain Text Transcription	Letter 60 [Undated] [Address panel:] To Mrs Wadsworth Pewsey [Undated] My d[ea]r Friend How did I rejoice at d[ea]r Calab's account of you that you was again return'd within reach & also better in health. I have suffered from every damp day yet I have pleased myself that it would bring you to us here. I quite long to see you. Our d[ea]r Calab is returned with revived strength from London. I have just had an hour with him since dinner that charms & united my heart to him inexpressably[?]. I do hope you will love & like us better than when you left us. There is a real blessing I trust in this place. Our full day of Pentico[st?] I yet wait for & a mighty rushing wind & storm[?] will attend it. Here is combustable enough to set all on fire when that blessed day comes & which will lay the foundati[on]s [?] of this work till the Lord appears in Judgment. [p. 2] The appearances he yet has made is but to prepare us for this & I hope our point of totle[?total] & absolute devotedness to him, his will & his service shall make its way. O! how my poor heart longs for this in myself & every creature & I know so does yours. This will make the way thro all that great tribulation, all error & nonsense [?] must then _____ & not before this do I expect the glorys of the latter days to appear. It is only this makes any[?] cloud. The pure in heart must see him in all things lovely above all that is in earth or heaven. I think you will like our plan in present agitation as it does seem pre proposed by the Lord. Our d[ea]r Lady Ann is most affectionately yours as is my d[ea]r helpers. We are sweet & haply [?happily] of one heart & mind & I do trust you will feel & find fellowship with us as I do look upon you as one the Lord has so bound to this work that all the powers of Hell shall not be able to loose. We shall long, long much to see you with hearts full of affection[?]. We shall [p. 3] have so much to say to you, that I shall pray it may have all light & love from heaven in it to him while here the ransomed exiles of his will[?] this honour on earth is my one object. Your d[ea]r brother tells me he hopes that you will not stay in that damp air to[o] long. This makes me hope to see you soon, but I know you will wait with your heart for that liberty from him in it that shall make you run & not tire. I am my d[ea]r friend in all faithfullness of heart & spirit Your devoted, unworthy & affectionate sister, S: Huntingdon
