Wesley Corpus

To Francis Wrigley Date: LONDON, July 16, 1788. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1788) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR BROTHER, -- You judge rightly. There is a snake in the grass. Some of the preachers are at the bottom of this senseless opposition to that excellent Deed. [The Deed of Declaration, 1784.] If it be possible, find out who they are. But if you do, your name shall never be brought into question concerning it. You are right likewise concerning this continual dividing and subdividing of circuits. This likewise will come naturally into consideration if we should live till the Conference. Sister Dutton has no claim to anything from our Fund. She knows it well. But we commonly make her a present once a year. -- I am, dear Franky, Your affectionate friend and brother.
