My Dear Betty Sister
As you desired it, I cannot but send
you a line, altho I have not a moment to spare.
You have doub[tless] exceeding reason to praise God, who
has dealt so mercifully with you. You have reason to
praise him likewise for hearing your Prayer, and
charity[?] to those of your Hous[e]hold. Now be a Pattern
to all that are round about you. Be a Pattern of
Meekness & Lowliness in particular. Be the least of all,
and the servant of all. Be a companion of Them &
them only, that worship in Spirit and in truth. Read
again and again the thirteenth chapter of S. Paul’s
first Epistle to the Corinthians. Then shall your light
shine more & more unto the perfect day & joy. I am
Dear Sister,
Your Affectionate Brother

Class Tickets
The first dated “September 1810” is signed Mary Cordeux [spelled Cordukes after she came to the America]. She was the daughter of Rachel Jones [of the Wesley letter] and Richard Cordeux, born Jan. 14, 1794, at Cranby, Yorkshire. On September 19, 1819, she married Edward Hield at Boswell Church in Yorkshire. After her husband’s death, she came to Janesville, Wisconsin, with her 7 children. [She appears in the 1850 U.S. census with 5 of her children; she died in 1862.]
The second class ticket, dated September 1844, is signed Edwd [Edward] Hield. He died in Escrick, Yorkshire, just three months later, Dec. 7, 1844.Two quarterly class tickets, dated 1810 and 1844, affixed to address panel of letter.
[Postmarks:]
“BRISTOL” stamped near upper right corner of address panel. On verso of the fold is a Bishop’s mark of two concentric circles. In the outer circle at the top is “MR” [i.e., March] and at the bottom “89” [i.e., 1789]. In the inner circle a “7” indicates the day of arrival in the London post office. [Prior to 1787 the Bishop’s mark was a divided circle with the month above and the day below.]
There is another faint circular postmark stamped near “Bristol” with only “A.M.” visible. This may indicate that when the letter arrived in London it was marked for sorting in the morning mail.
Records indicate (Telford) that before the backing was pasted on, the letter was redirected to “Miss Rachel Jones, of Barton-le-Willows, Near York” [Barton-le-Willows is a village in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire about eight miles southwest of Malton]. Rachel [“Betty”] Jones would marry Richard Cordeux and were the parents of the Mary Cordeux of the class ticket.
Wesley wrote this letter at age 86, two years before his death, which accounts for the anomalies. For example, he first wrote “My Dear Betty” [a nickname for Rachel] but had second thoughts, underscored “Betty” for deletion [as was his custom], and wrote “Sister” instead. On the third line, he went back and inserted a caret to add “doubtless” above the line--but only wrote “doub”. In the signature, he tried to write “J Wesley,” as was his custom, but after writing the “J,” he joined it to only half of a “W” in “Wesley.” In the last sentence of the letter he is paraphrasing Prov. 4:18
'A local habitation and a name A Kristevan reading of human growth in religion, with a reference to John and Charles Wesley'
No full textThis study is concerned with the concept of human growth and change: it juxtaposes processes of growth and change in psychoanalytic therapy and those in a religious context. In both situations the relationship between growth and development and the idea of becoming 'good' is considered. Kleinian, Post-Kleinian and particularly Kristevan theory is used to elucidate facilitators of change in psychoanalytic therapy and in the context of Christian faith. The emphases in the theory used here differ from those of more traditional developmental theorists in the study of religion, which rely heavily on ego-psychology and self-psychology, and focus on the autonomous ego and the degree of maturity of forms of religion. By contrast, the emphases here are on the split self, on unconscious drives, phantasies and affects, and on the non-cognitive apprehension of truth. Through an examination of the lives of John and Charles Wesley, the thesis examines the possibility of growth occurring in the context of so-called 'immature’ forms of religion, the means by which this might occur, and the extent to which change is governed by an individual's mental structure and psychological defences. The Kristevan reading allows a less cognitive, 'ego-driven' study of the growth to 'goodness' than does that of the developmental theorists. It thus questions the validity of traditional classifications of forms of religion. It elicits differences between the historical subjects, which demonstrate the importance of personality factors in facilitating or hindering growth. Finally, it enables an exploration of Charles Wesley’s hymns which reveals evidence of erotic and imaginary elements, and the possibility of triadic openness in what some would see as an 'immature' form of belief. This examination also questions Kristeva's own assertion that religious symbolism cannot adequately 'sublimate' the 'abject'

My dear sister
Nay, you call me your friend. And you have not lost me yet, and probably never will. Perhaps when I am in the country you will like as well to go in my chaise as in his. An hundred little oddities one may account for by the disorder in his head. He is often considerably better, but I doubt whether he is ever quite well.
So the estate which old Mr Hutton piled up with so much care does not descend even unto the third generation! May it not be so with Mr Robert Maw too? O let us be rich to God ward!
I am glad Mr Gerv[ase] W[oodhouse] is come so far. And God is able to bring him farther.
It strengthens the sight much to wet the eyes several times a day with forge-water, that which the smiths quench their irons in. Bear all and conquer all! I am, my dear sister,

[Wesley misdated this letter by a month, writing “July” instead of “June.” The error is confirmed by the London postmark, a divided circle with “30” above “IV”; i.e., “JU” for “June” (the London postmark for “July” was “IY”). Further confirmation comes from Wesley’s itinerary. He was in London on June 29, 1777, and in Wales on July 29.]In the Telford published transcription, the date is listed as 1779
