Wesley Corpus

To Samuel Bradburn Date: LONDON, August 5, 1779. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1779) Author: John Wesley --- DEAR SAMMY, - In order to obviate the mischief of those lying tracts you may give away as many of our political tracts as you please; as likewise the Letter to a Roman Catholic [See letter of July 18, 1749.] and The Advantage of the Members of the Church of England over those of the Church of Rome. [See Works, x. 133-40.] In one thing you will be disappointed. T. Rutherford must needs go to Londonderry [See letter of July 24 to John Bredin as to the importance Londonderry of the appointment. Rutherford had been in Belfast, and Bradburn evidently wanted him as his colleague at Cork.] and John Bredin come to Cork. He is a good preacher and a serious man, and I hope will behave well. I think he loves the King. You did well in lending the preaching-house to the Army. I would show them all the respect that is in my power. Jo. Bredin and you will not fail to change monthly. Do all you can at Kinsale and everywhere. - I am, with love to Betsy, dear Sammy, Your affectionate friend and brother.
