Wesley Corpus

To Henry Moore Date: BRISTOL, March 14, 1790. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1790) Author: John Wesley --- DEAR HENRY, -- I have received the parcel by the coach. I quite approve of your sending the note to all our Assistants, and hope it will have a good effect. I would do anything that is in my power toward the extirpation of that trade which is a scandal not only to Christianity but humanity. [Slavery in the abolition of which Wesley took the keenest interest. See letter of Oct. 11, 1787.] It will require both time and thought and much patience to bring into execution the other design which we see at a distance. We go on well in this circuit; and no wonder, since John Valton and Adam Clarke and Miss Johnson are here. -- I am, with kind love to Nancy, Your affectionate friend and brother.
