Postcard from Committee, Madison, Wisconsin, to Haydn Thompson, Madison, Wisconsin, September 30, 1930
No full textThis letter is from the Haydn Neal Thompson Letter Collection. Contents of the collection include correspondence, primarily handwritten and of a personal nature. The bulk of materials are from Thompson's family members, including his mother, Marie Thompson, and sister, Janet Thompson, with a few letters from aunts and cousins. The remaining majority consists of letters from friends, primarily girlfriends. The conversation across letters emphasizes school and social happenings. Politics and the economy (Great Depression) do not receive much notice, though a change in the tone of letters is noticeable from the 1920's to the 1930's, becoming more sober and fatalistic

John Wesley letter to Joseph Benson, 1773 July 31

Dear Joseph
I am glad you have preached so much abroad. This will everywhere do most execution.
Some time since I promised you to Billy Thompson for his fellow-labourer the ensuing year; and you will have no cause to repent of it for his heart (as well as yours) is in the work. Mr Hopper desires to spend another year in the Newcastle Circuit. I refer (it to him) whether it would not suffice to have preaching at Newcastle five night in a week?
“God has made practical divinity necessary and the devil controversial.” Sometimes we must write and preach controversially, but the less the better. I think we have few if any of our travelling preachers that love controversy. But there will always be men [1] –Antinomians and Calvinists in particular. By our long silence we have done much hurt both to them and to the cause of God. I am, dear Joseph,
Your affectionate brother
J Wesley

Dear Joseph
I think of Joseph Fothergill just as you do and shall willingly propose him at the conference. I believe he has considerable gifts and is truly alive to God.
You are in the right. We must beware of distressing the poor. Our substantial brethren are well able to bear the burden. I shall write a letter for each assistant before the conference is over. If they are in earnest, all will go well.
If the asserters of the decrees are quiet and peaceable, troubling no one with their opinions, reason is that we should bear with them. But if they will not be quiet, if they trouble others, we cannot keep them.
Do all you can for God! I am, dear Joseph
Yours affectionately,
J Wesley
Pray tell Jos[eph] Thompson I have set him down for Leeds
