Wesley Corpus

To Joseph Taylor Date: BRISTOL, September 9, 1782. You remember the rule of Conference that every Assistant should take my books in his own hands, See previous letter and that of Sept. 24. as having better opportunities of dispersing them than any private person can possibly have. I desire you would do this without delay. The Primitive Physick should be in every family. So should the Christian Pattern if possible. Of the Magazines I need say nothing. Herein I am persuaded you will tread in James Rogers's steps, and go beyond him as far as you can. The children will require much attention; and the bands too, or they will molder away. I am, dear Joseph, Your affectionate friend and brother.
