Wesley Corpus

To Thomas Carlill Date: CORK, May 6, 1785. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1785) Author: John Wesley --- DEAR TOMMY, - I desire you and no other preacher out of the Gainsborough Circuit to attend the Conference. I will pay the two guineas to Robert Armstrong. You may take Brother Fish in the place of Samuel Botts. Simon Kilham must in no wise be removed from Epworth. Encourage James Christie to read, and his gifts will increase. We cannot allow a baker to remain in our Society if he sells bread on the Lord's Day. But if he only bakes pies, as they call it, we do not exclude him; although we are convinced that to abstain even from this is the more excellent way. - I am, dear Tommy, Your affectionate friend and brother.
