Wesley Corpus

To Samuel Bradburn Date: ABERDEEN, June 7, 1782. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1782) Author: John Wesley --- DEAR SAMMY, -- Cannot you give part of J. Hodgson’s class to the other leader Let each person meet with which he chooses. Let Henry Atkinson and Thomas Haigh be the stewards for the ensuing year. I see no reason why Brother Proctor should not remain in the circuit till the Conference. [Stephen Proctor, the Assistant at Glamorgan, ceased to ‘travel’ at the Conference in August.] But whenever you have the opportunity earnestly exhort him to be serious and to be jealous for God. Whoever is pleased or displeased, the preaching at Greetland and at Halifax must remain as it is. Our yea is yea, and our nay is nay. I have little objection to John Oliver’s [The preachers at Bradford were Samuel Bradburn, John Floyd, and John Oliver, who moved to Chester in August.] request -- it seems reasonable enough. I am glad to hear my poor Betsy [See letter of Feb. 28.] gathers strength. I love her well. Peace be with both your spirits! -- I am, dear Sammy, Your affectionate friend and brother.
