To Edward Coates Date: LONDON, December 1788. MY DEAR BROTHER, I have all my life been a lover of peace, and am not less so now than I was fifty years ago. Therefore, as to warm words spoken to you or any other, let them pass; they are not worth rehearsing. There is only one charge which is of consequence, that you will not settle the house on the Methodist plan. This is exactly the case of the Dewsbury house; and if you persist in the resolution, you will constrain us to proceed in the same manner. See letters of November 1788 to William Smith, and April 11, 1789, to Peter Mill. I am Your affectionate brother.
