To John Baxendale Date: BRISTOL, March 7, 1783. MY DEAR BROTHER, I had much satisfaction when I was with you last; and hope to spend a night with you again, though I can't yet fix the time. He was at Wigan on April 15, 1782, and again in May 1783. See letter of Feb. 19, 1784. I agree with you it would be well if your chapel were properly settled. You do well to lose no opportunity of enlarging your borders. It is an acceptable time. We are now more especially called to preach the gospel to every creature; and many of the last shall be first. If we live to meet, I shall be glad to converse with that good young woman you speak of. The happy death of that poor mourner was a token for good. It was intended to encourage you in warning every one and exhorting every one, even though you do not see any present fruit. In due time you shall reap if you faint not. Strongly exhort all believers to go on to perfection. I am Your affectionate brother.
