Wesley Corpus

To Mrs. Barton Date: STONY STRATFORD, October 28, 1777. MY DEAR SISTER, I am glad that in spite of all discouragement's your little Society still keep together. There is undoubtedly a fairer prospect now than there has been for some time. I believe good will result from Miss Hurrell's visit. See letter of July 29 to Mrs. Barton. She has been of use to many. And it is certain both T. Hanson The ministers in the Hull Circuit. and James Hudson The ministers in the Hull Circuit. are workmen that need not be ashamed. They are good preachers and (what is more) good men; and their heart is in the work. I wish when opportunity serves you would speak freely to them. Men of this kind are not always to be found. You have been long led in a rough and thorny way. But as your day so your strength has been. He that loves you gives you help for to-day, and you need not take thought for to-morrow. You have His love and truth and promise on your side, and He hath never failed them that seek Him. Peace be with your spirit! I am, dear Jenny, Your affectionate brother.
