Wesley Corpus

To Joseph Benson Date: LONDON, October 23, 1773. DEAR JOSEPH, I wish every one of our preachers who goes to Scotland were of the same mind with you. We are not called to sit still in one place; it is neither for the health of our souls nor bodies. Billy Thompson See letter of Sept. 10 never satisfied me on this head, not in the least degree. I say still we will have traveling preachers in Scotland or none. The thing is fixed; the manner of effecting it is to be considered. Now set your wit to this: find out the t p 'The manner'. How shall this mater be accomplished You did not do well in selling your horse See letter of Sept. 18, 1774,' and thereby laying another bar in the way. Though I am (by the exquisite negligence of my late bookkeeper See letters of Sept. 20 and Nov. 6 ) a thousand pounds worse than nothing, I would have spared a few pounds to have eased that burthen. However, you must do as you can. Our preachers shall either travel there as in England, or else stay in England. I am, dear Joseph, Yours affectionately.
