To his Nephew Samuel Wesley Near BRISTOL, September, 16, 1789. MY DEAR SAMMY, It gives me pleasure to hear that you have so much resolution that you go to bed at ten and rise at four o'clock. Let not the increase of cold affright you from your purposes. Bear your cross, and it will bear you. I advise you carefully to read over Kempis, the Life of Gregory Lopez and that of Mons. de Renty. They are all among my brother's books. I am, dear Sammy, Your affectionate Uncle and friend.
