Mrs Wesley
[January 7, 1756]
Wedn. afternoon
When I saw you, my dear, I did not expect to have so large a demand made so suddenly upon me. I shall be puzzled to answer it without coming to town on purpose which I am unwilling to do before I have finished the Address. I desire you would give John Spenser (taking his receipt) or brother Atkinson (unless you choose to pay Mr Davenport yourself) what note-money remains in your hands. Unless you can help me out for a month or two, I must borrow some more in town. If you can, you will do it with pleasure.
My dear, adieu

Miss [Mary] Stokes
At Mr Freebury’s
In Stroud
Glo[u]cestershire
Feb. 11, 1772
My dear sister
I am glad you have an opportunity of spending a little time with that lovely company. The day I leave Bristol (Monday, March the ninth) I hope to be at Stroud myself. You are not sent thither for nothing, but in order to do, as well as to receive good. And that not to one family only or to three or four of th your acquaintance. Nay, but you have a message from God (you and Ally Eden too) to all the women in the Society. Set aside, my dear Molly, all evil shame, all modesty, falsely so called. Go from house to house. Deal faithfully with them all. Warn every one; exhort every one. God will every where give you a word to speak and his blessing therewith. Be you herein a follower of Nancy Bolton, as she is of Christ.
In doing and bearing
The will of our Lord,
We still are preparing
To meet our reward.
I have great hope for Sally James. In the company which commonly surrounds her, it is best to use reserve. And this is apt to form an habit, which it is not easy to conquer, even with those she loves well. But I trust she will conquer this and every enemy. Perhaps we shall soon rejoice over her.
It is good for you to be emptied that you may be filled.
But how is this, my dear friend, that you have never given me an hour’s pain since I was first acquainted with you? Do you intend to be always going forward without standing still or going backward at all? The good Lord enable you so to do and all those that are with you! So fulfill the joy of, my dear Molly,
Yours affectionately
J Wesley

Women's life writing 1760-1830 : spiritual selves, sexual characters, and revolutionary subjects
No full textPhDThis thesis uses print and manuscript sources to analyse and interpret women's life
writing at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries. I
explore printed works by Catharine Phillips, Mary Dudley, Priscilla Hannah Gurney,
Ann Freeman, Elizabeth Steele, Mary Robinson, Helen Maria Williams, Mary
Wollstonecraft, Grace Dalrymple Elliott, and Charlotte West and discuss the
manuscripts of Mary Fletcher, Mary Tooth, Sarah Ryan, and Elizabeth Fox. Of these
sources, five have never been analysed in the critical literature and six have received
little attention. Considered as a group, this large corpus of texts offers new insights
into the personal and political implications of different models of female selfhood and
social being.
In chapter one, I compare the religious identities presented in the spiritual
autobiographies of Quakers and Methodists. For these women, religious identification
provides a powerful sense of social belonging and enables public participation.
However, it may also lead to a loss of self in the demand for religious conformity and
self-abnegation. In chapter two, I consider the life writing of late eighteenth-century
courtesans. These women adapt available models of femininity and female authorship
in order to establish themselves as socially connected subjects. However, their
narratives also reveal that dependence on the sexual and literary marketplace puts
female selfhood under pressure. In chapter three, I explore the eyewitness accounts of
British women in the French Revolution. I argue that, for these writers, connecting
personal identity to political history is an enabling source of self-definition but it also
exposes them to the risks of self-fragmentation.
In my focus on the social function of women's life writing, I present an alternative to
the traditional alignment of the eighteenth-century autobiographical subject with the
autonomous self of individualism. These narratives allow us to reconsider the
productive and problematic dialectic between personal expression and representative
selfhood, self-authorship and collective narratives, and individualism and social
being. They suggest that women's life writing has the potential to be both the self-expression
of a unique heroine and the self-inscription of a politicised subject
