To George Gidley Date: BOLTON, April 11, 1779. MY DEAR BROTHER, - It seems to me that this is a very providential thing, and that you did well not to let the opportunity slip. There is no doubt but our brethren at the Conference will readily consent to your asking the assistance of your neighbors. That assistance was for the erection of a preaching-house. The letter was endorsed, 'Mr. Wesley's approbation of Exeter purchase.' See letter of Jan. 25. And the time appears to be now approaching when poor Exeter will lift up its head. There is no danger at all of your being a loser by any bond or security that you have given. If I live till the latter end of summer, I hope to call upon you in my way to Cornwall. - I am Your affectionate brother.
