Wesley Corpus

To John Valton Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1773) Author: John Wesley --- BRADFORD (UPON AVON), September 29, 1773. MY DEAR BROTHER,--All is well. Persons enough offer for the place [To take charge of Wesley’s Book-Room in London. See letters of Sept. 20 and Oct.20] who know it is easier by far than that of a merchant’s clerk. Am in no haste to change. Probably I shall do nothing more till I come to London. You was present at the Conference, and heard what was then said concerning unqualified preachers. I think Rd. Packer [Richard Packer came to London from Northamptonshire, was verted at the Foundery, and became a prosperous builder in Mile End. See Stevenson’s City Road Chapel, pp. 477-8] is as weak as most. Yet he has been often useful; and, what is stranger, in several places they are fond of him!--I am Your affectionate brother. I hope to be in town this day se'nnight.
