Wesley Corpus

To Edward Bolton Date: LONDON, February 12, 1769. MY DEAR BROTHER, A preaching-house can't be too light or too airy. Therefore your windows must be large. And let them be sashes, opening downward; otherwise the air coming in would give the people cold. I do not know but it might be best to have either a paved or a boarded floor. And see that whatever is done be done neat and strong. It is the Lord's work, and He will provide. I will give you ten pounds towards it; for which you may draw upon Mr. Franks when you please. See Journal, v. 345. I hope my dear Nancy is recovered from her cold. Don't let her omit riding. See letters of Feb. 4, 1769, and Jan. 25, 1770. And make the best use of both her advice and example; for you know not how soon she may be taken away. I am Your affectionate brother.
