Wesley Corpus

To Christopher Hopper Date: LONDON, December 3, 1768. MY DEAR BROTHER, Regard not custom, but reason.Hopper was the preacher in the Birstall Circuit. I wish you would (1) Nowhere begin preaching later than seven in the evening; (2) Preach nowhere unless they can and will procure you a tolerable lodging; (3) Change the stewards as soon as may be, whoever is pleased or displeased; (4) Execute our discipline in every point without fear or favour; (5) Expect no thanks from Richard Taylor nor any man else for doing him good. I am, with love to Sister Hopper, Your affectionate friend and brother.
