From Martha Moore at Beeston to [William Seward]. When she read Seward’s letter, she greatly rejoiced and thanked the Lord for his abundant mercies to Seward 'and the extraordinary gifts to enable you to come to us not only in the fulness of the Gospel of peace, but also with power and strength to pulling down the strongholds of Satan, to confound the wisdom of this world, and to bring to naught the devices of the wicked, that every knee may bow to the Lord...O that it may please him to bless all your labours of love, and your fatigues and travail of mind and body for his name’s sake...so the love of God may be shed abroad on all men. To the saving of their souls and for the vindication of your ministry. Since this harvest is ready, I pray to God that the labourers therein be neither few nor faint...'
In a postscript, she asks that her regards be passed to Brother [James] Hutton.
