Wesley Corpus

To Arthur Keene Date: MANCHESTER, August 5, 1787. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1787) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR BROTHER, -- We may see the mercy .of God in removing your little one into a better world. [See letter of July 24 to him.] It was a mercy for you as well as for her. I was afraid she would have continued in pain long enough to have taken her mother with her. But God does all things well. You must now take care that she may have more air and exercise than she has lately had. Otherwise she may find many ill effects of her late confinement. I do not wonder that your Dublin newswriters were afraid of stirring up a nest of hornets. Ours in England are not so fearful; they are glad to have anything from me. They know how it increases the sale of their paper. Pay peace be multiplied upon you, and all that are with you I -- I am, dear Arthur, Yours most affectionately.
