MY DEAR BROTHER, If there are two preachers in the Round (as I suppose there are now if Jonathan Maskew See letter of Feb. 22. is come), then you may tell Mr. Haughton I desire the preaching may be constantly at Chester in the manner I settled it when I was in the country. Wesley paid his third visit to Chester, on his way to the North, on March 27, 1753. See Journal, iv. 56. I hope to set out for the North about the beginning of March. I am not yet determined whether I go down toward Newcastle by Chester or endeavor to see you in my return. I hope Sister Roughly, Brother Jones, and all our friends are pressing on and walking in love. Ought I not to have heard something from you rather than from others concerning Sister Barlow of Manchester If she does remove to Chester, I trust it will be for the good of many; for she has both a searching and a healing spirit. I am Your affectionate brother.","word_count":182,"source_url":null,"themes":["pneumatology","justifying-grace","free-will"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T19:59:46.080453"}]}
