Plain Text Transcription	To Mr [Christopher] Hopper At the Preaching house in Liverpool London Nov. 11, 1775 My dear brother There was something very aweful in that storm, which I suppose reached all over England and Ireland; although it seems not to have been altogether so violent in London as in most other places. I am sorry for Captain Davis and his widow. The judgments of God are abroad. The prayer meetings may be of great use, not only to individuals, but to the whole nation. I see nothing beside prayer that can avail. For the one question is, “Have we a right to tax or no?” If we have, they are rebels and accountable to God and man for all the blood that is shed. If we have not, they are innocent and the blood lies at our door. Will they allow this right? Or can we give it up? I am, with love to S[ister] Hopper, Your affectionate friend and brother J Wesley
