Wesley Corpus

To Susanna Knapp Date: BRISTOL, March 4, 1788. MY DEAR SUKY, That you were at the trouble of sending me a few lines I take exceeding kindly. I was talking with Mr. Eden here Then in Bristol. See letter of Feb. 11, 1772, n. a day or two ago, and he heard that the roads about Broadmarston are now almost impassable. On Monday next I hope to be at Stroud, on Tuesday at Gloucester, on Wednesday and Thursday at Worcester, on Friday at Stourport, and on Saturday at Birmingham. I hope you are making the best use of the rigor of youth in running the race that is set before you. Miss Knapp was born Sept. 17, 1770. She was greatly influenced by Wesley's visits to her home. See letter of March 4, 1784, to her. These are precious hours; improve them to the uttermost, and you will give pleasure to all that love you; in particular to, my dear Suky, Yours affectionately.
