Dr, Davies, Your very acceptable letter per favour Mr Shelley came to hand but is misslaid - and not to be found - on which account I cannot answer it as I could wish - but I have to say, that I am exceeding Happy of your Stay at Oteheite & it Gladens my heart to hear of the smallest hope of Usefulness in the Vineyard of the Lord - I hope by this date you are come to a determination to spend & be spent in the Great work before you - of all employment. it is the most Honour able - but you have to do the work of an Evangelist and therefore look up to God for strength, praises & temper such a station requires - as you are in the field of action look out for trials - you have Opponants on all quarters - and after the greatest trouble - you have yet ex -perienced - expect a greater always to Sanctify the last - & I think you will not be deceived - live near to the Lord
