Wesley Corpus

To Adam Clarke Date: STROUD, March 17, 1788. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1788) Author: John Wesley --- DEAR ADAM, -- I immediately answered the letter which brought the account of Sister Horne's case. [See letter of Jan. 8.] I am afraid they will make willful mistakes and carry your letters to the Isle of Wight. I am glad you have spread yourselves through the islands and that Mrs. de Saumarez has had the courage to join you. I believe she has very good uprightness of heart and (if she goes on) will be a burning and shining light. You have reason likewise to praise God on account of Alderney. [See letter of Nov. 9, 1787.] There is a seed which shall not easily be rooted up. Drink largely when need be of warm lemonade, and no bilious complaint will remain long. Our Conference Deed provided for what Dr. Jersey desires. I desire the very same thing; nay! I observe Mr. Walker too. The sooner it is done the better. Send your translation [Clarke had offered on Oct. 29 to send a translation of part or the whole of Conference de la, Fable avec L'Histoire Sainte for the January Magazine if Wesley wished.] to London. My kind love to Miss Lempriere, Jenny Bisson (who owes me a letter), and the dear family at Mont Plaisir. [The De Jerseys.] Peace be with your spirits. -- I am, dear Adam, Your affectionate friend and brother. Direct to me at London, and your letter will come safe.
