To Henry Moore Date: MACCLESFIELD, April 6, 1788. DEAR HENRY, You send me good news. When these soldiers See letter of Feb. 19 to him. are removed, you must take the more pains with them henceforth. It is exceedingly strange that the work of God should not yet decay in Dublin. I have not known before a shower of grace continue so long either in Great Britain or Ireland. And it will continue if the people continue genuine Methodists, and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God. See letter of Jan. 18 to him. An organ! Non defensorbus istis tempus eget.

I am, with tender love to Nancy, dear Henry, Your affectionate friend and brother. My brother fell asleep so quietly that they who sat by him did not know when he died.
