My dear Mother That I am one of the unfortunate I have too long known, but it is peculiarly mortifying to me to cause Uneasiness & Disappointment to others. - My Leg (from what cause I know not) became suddenly so much inflamed last night that I have been in much pain with it ever since: -- Having appointed to be in Town To-morrow & meet Mrs Mitz at Cotton's[?] on Thursday I could certainly come (in a Post Chaise) but the Misfortune is th' I am unable to stand at all upon my Leg, therefore must be a useless piece of Lumber in Company, as yet. - Mr Corpe is doing all he can for me. I am truly sorry to be deprived of the pleasure I promised myself on Thursday in meeting Mrs Mason &c but there is certainly a fate against me at present. Pray send the enclosed (by Mr Hull, or some other safe & speedy Messenger) as I am expected to meet Miss Mackenzie at Paddington, in order to give her a Lesson, as before agreed upon. - I know you will forward the Note with the utmost expedition. If I can walk across a Room by Monday I shall undoubtedly be conveyed to you somehow or other, & if Mrs Mason does not leave London next week, I shall anxiously endeavour to join the party some day if there be any possibility of it.

John Wesley on ‘Patriotism’
No full textABSTRACT
In a 1774 letter published in Lloyd's Evening Post, previously unrecognized in Wesley Studies, John Wesley contested the use of the label ‘patriot’ in current political debate, particularly by those challenging the court of George III and pushing for abolition of constitutional monarchy—like John Wilkes and his followers. This article reproduces the letter, with an introduction and annotation.</jats:p
[Charles Wesley letter to Sarah (Sally) Wesley, 1758 June 28]
No full textAddressed: To Mrs S[arah] Wesley Moorfields June 28[, 1758] Dear Sally, You are sure of the history of Tuesday night. Becky and Betsy were among my hearers while I discoursed on what reward shall I give unto the Lord for all the benefits he hath done unto me? I will receive the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. He confirmed his word. I then baptized Mrs Bird in a congregation of believers. All were sensible of the Spirit's descent, as many of them testified at our solemn meeting afterwards. Our Sister Parker, who had been struggling in the toils for near 19 years, declared that on Sunday evening under the Word she was fully delivered and convinced she was no reprobate by the universal love of God shed abroad in her heart abundantly. It has increased ever since. We all received with her report an increase of faith, and love, and thankfulness. Several spoke: all their words minished grace. I prayed once and again after God. Our blessed parting assured us we shall never be separated. I waked at 3 this morning out of a dream that I was busily engaged to rescue a friend from being prisoned. Rose, breakfasted, and set out with trusty J. Jones for Weybridge. Found Mrs Carteret, Mrs Cavendish, L[ady] H[untingndon] and Lady Gertrude [Hotham] there. Last Tuesday Mr Madan had been brought to preach. I had no time with any of them alone, except good Lady Gertrude. We joined in the sacrament and in frequent prayer. I did not find the old usual blessing. Met friend George's [Whitefield] sermons loaded with predestination. Could just give one of my friends a word of warning against that doctrine of devils. They pressed us to stay dinner at least. My heart was not free. We took horse at one; dined and drank tea between 5 and 6 with dear Beck and Betsy at Islington; and am now at S[ister] Boult's conversing thus with my dearest (I had almost said) only friend whom I can depend upon. Many kind things were said of you, and sincerely, which I need not repeat. Poor John Jones leaning down, his horse lifting up his head, struck him on the face so roughly that the blood spouted out and ran like a tap. We were then near Weybridge and got help. He is now in tolerable order. You need not tell his wife. The box was sent by Sartan's Waggon this morning directed to Mr Wiggenton. Weybridge is 17 miles from London. I am nothing weary with my journey but sorry not to proceed further till Monday. Hackney, Thursday afternoon [June 29th] I indulged myself in sleep till past six. Rose and breakfasted with Mr Lefevre but could not prevail with him to bless the world with another edition of the letters. I as good as told him somebody would surely reprint them without his knowledge. Called on Mrs Clark in my way to Betsy with whom and Beck I took sweet counsel and returned by the Green hither. If I write again it will be more than you expect. We shall set out on Monday unless you hear to the contrary. I have been much assisted during my long continuance here which made yo my absence from you more tolerable. This may ought to reconcile us to such separations. Many more prayers have been heard for you also, since my coming hither. I trust I shall not grow slack at Bristol. It is upon my mind to go see my niece[1] at Barnstable for before winter. It will be made more plain if I am to go. Salute all my friends for me, not forgetting your sucking child.[2] Farewell in Christ __________ [1] Mrs Earle, daughter of Samuel Wesley, Jr. [2] Charles Wesley, Jr., born December 11, 1757, would have been just over six months old.Letter from Charles Wesley to Sarah Wesley

My Dear Brother
It pleases God, that my Health & Strength
are just the same now, that they were forty years ago.
But there is a difference in one point: I was then
frequently weary: My Body sunk under my Work:
Whereas now, from one Week or Month to another,
I do not know what Weariness means.
By removing such instruments as Arthur
Thomey & Mr Fletcher, our Lord puts us in mind
of what we are ever prone to forget, that ye help
wch is done upon Earth, He doth it himself; & that
He has no need of man. The Pillars fall: yet the
Building stands! Why? Ye hand of ye most High supports it.
“If an Angel (say’s one) cou’d be sent down from
Heaven, & were to dwell in a Body threescore [years], &
in that time converted but One Immortal Soul,
it wou’d be worth al[l] his Labour.” But you have
now seen more than one Sinner converted to God.
Probably the number now is not small, of those
who are translated out of [i.e., into] the Kingdom of God’s dear
Son. Go on my Brother! Be your present Success more
or less, be not weary! In due time, you shall reap if you
faint not! I am yr affectionate Brother

London, Feb. 26. 1786
My dear Brother
I have just time to tell you that I intend to be in
Nova Scotia, God willing, about the latter end of next
September. I shall be glad to see you at that time.
Tell Bro: McGeary that I expect he will cross the
water, & meet me at Hallifax. It appears to me
that I shall not have time to call at Newfoundland.
I shall be glad to be favoured with a particular
acct. of the work in yr. Island. I intend to write to
Br: McGeary. Pray often for
Yr. very affectionate
(tho’ personally unknown)
Brother
Thomas CokeThis appears to be a double letter from John Wesley and from Thomas Coke to John Stretton, a lay minister in Newfoundland. The letter from Thomas Coke is on the verso. The fold pattern is unusual for Wesley, and the lack of an address besides that of Mr. Stretton c/o Mr. Henderson (in Coke's handwriting) suggests that the letter was folded and mailed by Coke, who appended his own letter to one which Wesley had written. It is also possible that the Wesley letter was meant for Coke alone. As he had promised, Coke set out in late September for Nova Scotia, which was at the time serving as a place of refuge for English loyalists after the Revolutionary War, but his ship was caught in a storm and he was blown off course, landing in the West Indies. See J.W. Etheridge, The Life of the Rev. Thomas Coke (London: John Mason, 1860), pp. 159-65.
