Wesley Corpus

To John Valton Date: LONDON, June 5, 1783. MY DEAR BROTHER, What have the Birstall Assistants (even Thomas Taylor himself Taylor was Assistant at Bitstall in 1778.) been doing these seven years I believe our fast will be productive of many good effects. Many have already found reason to bless God on account of it. Sister Rogers Mrs. Rogers died in 1784. Her husband married Hester Ann Roe the same year. See letter of May 5, 1784. is a jewel of a woman. She has all the spirit of her husband, and desires nothing but to do and suffer the will of God. Those trustees At Birstall. See letter of Nov. 9, 1782. are wonderfully injudicious. Are they afraid their sons will be of the same mind as themselves I would not for all the world leave a preaching-house to my executors. However, do what you judge best. Your affectionate friend and brother. But your Life! I want your Life. See letter of Jan. 18, 1782, where Wesley acknowledges the receipt of the first part of the autobiography.
