Wesley Corpus

To Christopher Hopper Date: NEAR LONDON, February 16, 1780. MY DEAR BROTHER, - I do not know that there is any matter of dispute between us, unless it be whether you should do what I desire or no. You are Assistant in Colne Circuit. I desire you to send me a plan of the circuit: you send me an answer, but without the plan. I write again: you send a second answer, telling me you have been very diligent for many years; and that you was the very person who introduced plans among us. Very good; but you send me no plan still, and till this comes everything else is wide of the mark. See letters of Jan. 16 (to Lancelot Harrison) and Dec. 31. - I am Your affectionate friend and brother. Why should not you write an account of your life Hopper lost no time. His autobiography appeared in the Arminian Mag. for Jan.-March 1781. See Wesley's Veterans, i. 107-74. Isaac Waldron, T. Lee, W. Brammah, c. c., were not 'strong and able men.' When any such obtrude themselves for easy circuits, speak at that time, and you do something. Mr. Hopper, At the Preaching-house, In Colne, Lancashire.
