I wish you to retain a close acquaintance with Mr. -. He is an upright man. And I am in hopes we may now set his head right See letters of July 12, 1782, and Nov. 21, 1783, to her.; as he that confounded his interests is gone to another world. There is no danger of your taking any step that is materially wrong if you continue instant in prayer. But I know so little of the thing you refer to that I can say little about it. Only do not expect that any creature will increase your happiness any farther than it increases your knowledge and love of God. I am, my dear Nancy, Yours affectionately. To Thomas Rutherford 3 LONDON, July 29, 1782. DEAR TOMMY, I doubt not but the work of God will revive in Dublin; for Brother Blair and you will not only preach the full Methodist doctrine, but enforce our discipline in every point and preach abroad at every opportunity. Pray tell Richard Calent I thank him for his letter. I have a letter likewise from George Pellet, of Eyre Court, and am glad to hear his daughter is so well married. Now I speak a word to you in your ear. Thomas Bethell See letter of Oct. 19. has been basely used. James Deaves is deeply prejudiced against him, and has prejudiced many others. Do all you can by little and little to remove that prejudice. He is a downright honest man, and 'a troublesome man' only to mongrel Methodists. I thank nobody for hindering his prayer-meeting, which was a direct affront to me. Give him the note which I have enclosed. I am, with love to Sister Rutherford, dear Tommy, Your affectionate friend and brother. To Mrs. Nuttal LONDON, July 31, 1782.
