Wesley Corpus

To Thomas Taylor Date: NEAR NEWCASTLE, June 7, 1788. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1788) Author: John Wesley --- DEAR TOMMY, -- I have no time to spend on controversy about the Church, unless I had leisure to write a folio. You did well in sending your daughters to Cork. It will very probably re-establish their health. It is no wonder that every one should be ruined who concerns himself with that execrable bill trade. In London I expel every one out of our Society who has anything to do with it. Whoever endorses a bill {that is, promises to pay) for more than he is worth is either a fool or a knave. I hope this affliction at Manchester will be the means of saving many souls. Peace be with you and yours! -- I am, dear Tommy, Your affectionate friend and brother.
