MY DEAR BROTHER, - It was your part to write to me of the behavior of William Eels, particularly at Warrington, without waiting till I heard of it from so many other persons. Seeing I find I cannot overcome him by love, I am at length constrained to let him drop. Pray inform him he is no longer in the number of our itinerant preachers. I shall to-day send another preacher to supply his place in the Bolton Circuit. I have done all I could to save him; but it is. in vain; so I must at length give him up. - I am Your affectionate brother and friend.","word_count":117,"source_url":null,"themes":["means-of-grace","social-holiness","catholic-spirit"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:19:44.786833"}]}
