Collected Works of John Wesley, Volume XIII
Contents:
DCCCXIX. — To the Same.
Dear Adam,Bristol, March 9, 1789.
If I should live to see you another Conference, I should be glad to have sister Clarke and you here, rather than at most other places; because I spend more time here myself, than at any other place, except London. I am glad to hear that God has raised up so able a Preacher from the islands; but certainly you should spare no pains in teaching him to read and write English. And I do not doubt but if he learned with a single eye, he would be largely strengthened by the blessing of God.
It would be a reason for being, very wary in choosing names for our children, if that old remark were true: —
That our first tempers from example flow,
And borrow that example from our names.
Peace be with you and yours!
I am, dear Adam,
Your affectionate friend and brother.
