Wesley Corpus

To Francis Wrigley Date: SCARBOROUGH, June 20, 1784. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1784) Author: John Wesley --- DEAR FRANCIS, - You did right with regard to Captain Colmer [Wrigley was at Bradford (Wilts). 'Brother Colmet' is mentioned on July 28, 1783 (Journal, vi. 437d).]; but you should likewise apply, if it can be done, to all his employers. I think he will soon find he has missed his mark. I advise you to write to Mr. Shipman and ask whether he did give or offer [money] for Risgwy. I hope it is a slander. Pray inform the minister of St..... I have tried that point in Westminster; and if he requires it of me, I will try it again. If the preaching-places can be [supplied] during his absence, James Thom [Thom was in Cornwall East, to which Wrigley is appointed next Conference. Probably he had already gone there, and both of them wished to attend Conference in July in Leeds.] may come with you to the Conference. I am afraid that kind of rupt[ure under] which Mary Hooker labors will [admit] of no natural remedy. - I am, dear Francis, Your affectionate friend and brother.
