Wesley Corpus

To Adam Clarke Date: LONDON, December 18, 1787. DEAR ADAM, I thank you for the use of your books. They contain many ingenious observations; but I think very few of them are solid. Much may be said on both sides. I am afraid you have been too severe with Mr. Walker. Clarke says in a letter to Wesley on Dec. 20, 1786, that George Walker furnished his board gratis. See Dunn's Clarke, p. 32; and letters of Oct. 2o, 1787, and Jan. 8, 1788. I am persuaded there is much good in him, otherwise he would have washed his hands of the Methodists. Take care you do not contract something of Brother De Queteville's temper! See letter of Dec. 8. I am, dear Adam, Your affectionate friend and brother.
