MY DEAR BROTHER, I am exceedingly pleased that you have made a little tour to Portsmouth and the adjoining places; and cannot doubt but it has been a blessing to many there as well as to your own soul. I seem to remember that I had a letter from you some time since; but I do not remember whether I answered it or not. If the good impressions which Sammy Wesley frequently feels could be changed, he would probably be a real Christian. You should contrive to see him as often as you can. Who knows but you may save a soul alive. See letter of April 28 to Sarah Wesley. To take a little journey (were it but for a week) now and then would be of service both to your mind and body. I am, with kind love to Betsy, Your affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":155,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","social-holiness","christology"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:26:05.346413"}]}
