MY DEAR BROTHER, By the former rule of Conference you must not undertake any building till two-thirds of the money it will cost are subscribed. Now, I doubt you would hardly with all your strength be able to procure one-third at Doncaster. If you read publicly on any Sunday that letter from New York, you may then receive what the hearers are willing to give. I am not at all sorry that our brother Southwell Serjeant Southwell, of Kendal, with whom Wesley spent a comfortable evening on March 21, 1767. See Journal, v. 201. purposes settling at New York. On the 6th of March I am to set out for Bristol and Ireland. I am, dear Robert, Your affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":130,"source_url":null,"themes":["catholic-spirit","universal-redemption","free-will"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T20:03:44.865278"}]}
