MY DEAR SALLY, Will it not be best for you to spend a little time at Margate She went there. See next letter. as soon as possible I hope to be in town on Saturday, October 3. And before the end of October you should be at the City Road, if not already gone to Twickenham. I believe sea-bathing will brace your nerves; but I pray you not to drink sea-water. See letter of Sept. 8, 1788. If you look into the Primitive Physick, you will see what is the diet-drink In the Primitive Physick under the head of 'Scorbutick Sores' is given a drink to be taken 'fasting and at four in the afternoon.' This is probably the 'diet-drink' to which he refers. It is called 'a diet-drink' in the later editions. See W.H.S. iv. 72. therein prescribed for scorbutic sores; though your disorder is not come so far, I expect it would thoroughly purify your blood in a month's time. I shall be right glad to see Mr. Galloway. For Joseph Galloway, see letter of Aug. 18. A few such acquaintance as him and Miss Galloway I wish you to have. I wish you was likewise acquainted with that lovely woman Mrs. Wolff Mrs. Wolff, of Balham. From their house Wesley went home to City Road to die.; 'the perfect pattern of true womanhood.' Peace be with all your spirits ! My dear Sally, adieu!","word_count":247,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","primitive-christianity","works-piety"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:26:20.135505"}]}
