To Dorothy Furly Date: LONDON, July 16, 1763. MY DEAR SISTER, 1. So far as I know what will make me most holy and most useful I know what is the will of God. 2. Certainly it is possible for persons to be as devoted to God in a married as in a single state. 3. I believe John Downes is throughly desirous of being wholly devoted to God, and that (if you alter your condition at all) you cannot choose a more proper person. I am, my dear sister, Your affectionate brother.
