To Martha Chapman Date: SUNDERLAND, May 25, 1782. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1782) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR SISTER, --Some fault we may allow to be in the heart of that poor creature. But undoubtedly the main fault lies in her head. It is as manifest a case of insanity as ever came under my notice. With regard to you, it is the wise providence of God. For the present it is not joyous, but grievous; yet by-and-by you will find all these things working together for good. I advise you all to let her say whatever she has a mind to say. But answer her not one word either bad or good. -- I am, my dear Patty, Your affectionate brother.
