Wesley Corpus

To Jeremiah Brettell Date: THIRSK, June 26, 1781. DEAR JERRY, Direct your answer to London. I agreed with William Redstone to finish the work for threescore pounds. I thought I had sent fifty of it, and have some thirty-five to remain. Beside the hundred pounds which I shall procure from the Conference, I purpose giving another hundred out of my own pocket. I think they would ride a free horse to death. Speak plain to Brother Ward and Foster, Henry Foster, admitted on trial in 1780, was the fourth preacher in Cornwall East. See letter of June 22, 1785; and for Nathaniel Ward, that of Oct. 12, 1780. and tell them from me, 'Unless you can and will leave off preaching long, I shall think it my duty to prevent your preaching at all among the Methodists.' I am, dear Jerry, Your affectionate friend and brother.
