Abraham Booth, London, to [unknown Baptist minister], 21 December 1763.

London, 21 December, 1763

Dear Sir,

        Your friendly letter came safe to hand, & I thankfully acknowledge my obligations to you for the trouble at which you have been, in negotiating the affair for me. I am now revising my Reign of Grace; &, as Capt. Thompson is in London, I intend sending a corrected copy by him when he returns to Leith (which, I suppose, will be in about a fortnight) to Messrs. Neill & grey. When the Book is reprinted, I shall beg your acceptance of a few Copies of it, as a small token of my gratitude.

        Whenever opportunity serves, I shall be glad to hear from you; &, meanwhile, sincerely commend you to the Great Author of grace & truth. May you, dear Sir, & may I, experience the power of reigning grace, and publish the glory of the eternal truth, to our own happiness & the edification of many. – My Wife unites in Christian respects, & in prayer for a blessing on you, your family, & congregation. I am,

                     dear Sir,

                                 your obliged Friend

                                             & unworthy Brother,

                                                         A. Booth
