MY DEAR BROTHER, I hope to be with you on Good Friday between one and two o'clock. Then you dispose of me as you see best till Easter Monday in the afternoon; but that day I am to dine with Sir Philip Gibbes at Hilton Park. The Assistant has need in most places to have a strict eye to the leaders; but they are nothing in the Methodist constitution, but single men who are employed by the Assistant as long and as far as he pleases. The account of good Sarah Ward is remarkable. I am, dear Richard, Your affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":111,"source_url":null,"themes":[],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:23:44.809616"}]}
