Wesley Corpus

To Mrs. Charles Wesley Date: BLACKBURN, April 21, 1788. You will excuse me, my dear sister, for troubling you with so many letters, for I know not how to help it. I had you and your family so much upon my heart, both for your own sake and for the sake of my brother. But I am much easier now that I find you are joined with honest John Collinson, whom I know to be not only a man of probity, but likewise a man of diligence and understanding. I am therefore persuaded he will spare no pains in doing what you wish to be done. So that I shall not be wanted you, as he will fully supply my lack of service. On his return to London Wesley had breakfast with Charles Wesley's family. See letter of July 6, 1788; and for Collinson, that of May 20, 1769. I only both Charles and Sammy may follow your example and advice See letter of April 12 to her. in keeping little company, and those of the best sort, men sound understanding and solid piety; for such only are for the acquaintance of men of sense. I commit you all to Him that loves you, and am, my dear Sister, Ever yours.
