Wesley Corpus

To Thomas Cooper Date: BRISTOL, September 6, 1788. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1788) Author: John Wesley --- DEAR TOMMY, -- I will not send any other person into the Derby Circuit if you will be there in two or three weeks. [Cooper, who had been stationed at Birmingham, and was down in the Minutes for Plymouth, had been changed to Derby. He was appointed to Wolverhampton in 1789.] Otherwise I must, or the work of God might suffer in a manner not easy to be repaired. You should have told me at first what your disorder was, and possibly I might have saved you from much pain. -- I am, dear Tommy, Your affectionate brother.
