Wesley Corpus

To Mrs. Fletcher Date: MANCHESTER, April 2, 1755. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1785) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR SISTER, - I have nothing to do with Yorkshire this year. After a swift journey through Bolton, Wigan, and Liverpool, I must hasten by Chester to Holyhead in order to take the first packet for Dublin. The spring is already so far spent that I shall have much ado to go through all the provinces of Ireland before the end of June. It is well if that inconstant man has not destroyed poor Miss L. body and soul. I am afraid he had long since stole her heart from God. And she had so long persuaded others that their union was the will of God, that it is well if the disappointment does not quite unsettle her and make her turn back to the world. I wish you would write a letter to her on this head. Who knows but it may save a soul alive. The account of Michael Onions is very remarkable and may be of use to the public. Yours most affectionately.
