To Mr. Torry Date: BRISTOL, July 30, 1786. MY DEAR BROTHER, - We Conference met in Bristol on July 25 and closed on Aug. 1. entirely disapprove of such a division of the Hull Circuit as has been sent to us. We totally reject the thought of a preacher staying a fortnight together in one place. There is no precedent of this in England, nor shall be as long as I live. I have desired those of our Brethren who are acquainted with this and the neighboring county to draw up a Methodist Plan. The following is the Plan, with the original spelling: Hull, Wednesday. Shorley, Thursday. Wo'thering, Week Friday. Ross or Remswell, Saturday. Paterington, Sunday. Melton, Munday. Cave, Tuesday. Gilberdike, Wednesday. Laxton, Thursday. Esterington, Friday. Newbold, Saturday. Beverley, Sunday Munday. Theton, Tuesday. Hull, he that is in Hull. Skitby, Tuesday. Cottingham, Wednesday. Newland, Thursday. Hasel, Friday. Pocklington, Saturday Sunday. Br. Wilton, Munday. Grimston, Tuesday. Acklam, Wednesday. Bugthorp, Thursday. Fankioss, Friday. Assalby, Saturday. Howden, Sunday noon. Spanden, Sunday night. Hoggerthorp, Munday. Seetown, Tuesday. Holm, Wednesday Thursday. Numberaura, Friday. Shipton, Saturday. Weigton, Sunday noon night. Drifteld, Monday. Gatton, Tuesday. Frodingham, Wednesday. Nafferton, Thursday. Reeston, Friday. Burlington, Saturday, Sun. Mony. Hunmanby or Rudston, Tuesday. Kilham, Wednesday. Witewand, Thursday Huggitt, Friday. Millington, Saturday. They have done so, and I like it well. No one of our preachers must be still while I live. - I am, my dear brother, Your affectionate brother.
