Wesley Corpus

To his Brother Charles Date: DUBLIN, April 25, 1783. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1783) Author: John Wesley --- DEAR BROTHER, -- How extremely odd is the affair of Mr. Abraham! [See letters of Feb. 20, 1782, and May 2, 1783 (to his brother).] I scarce ever remember the like. It really seems to be a providential incident which fairly acquits us of one that would have been no honor to us. But how odd also is this affair of Miss Freeman! [See letters of April 4 and May 2 to his brother.] Since I left her at Sir Philip Gibbes’s preparing for her journey to Bath, I have not had so much as one line from her. Yesterday I had a letter from Miss Gibbes and another from her sister; but she is not even mentioned either in one or the other. Do you know what is become of her Is she ill Surely she is not slipped back to Paris! All is quiet here. God has made our enemies to be at peace with us. In about ten days I hope to be at Chester. Peace be with you and yours!
