Transcription	[Letter of Charles Wesley, 1767, November 23, to Mr Berkin via Miss March] [Address panel:] To Miss Marsh [i.e., March] in Aldermanbury London (for Mr Berkin) [Postmark:] A Bishop mark (a divided circle with “25/NO”) shows the letter arrived in the London postoffice on November 25.] Red wax seal. Dear Sir, What repeated reasons have you to resolve -- As for me & my house we will serve the Lord! He brought to the gates of death, & brings up again. His arm is not shortened, nor his ear heavy. We found such access to the throne (at a meeting for prayer in my house) that we could not help believing your Partner would be lent you a little longer. Perhaps you may finish yr course before her. Let us all be found watching [p. 2, written crosswise] at our Lord’s Coming. Then are we blessed to all eternity. I have the comfort of believing your youngest son, Elect. May he live to shew all the marks of it. If he dies in his infancy--my soul remain with his, for ever! My Partner was greatly affected by the danger of yours; & now sincerely rejoices with you. Mrs Berkin will be glad to hear of her safe Delivery. Help together by your prayers. I direct to Miss March, for want of yr full direction. May the Blessing of God in Christ rest upon you all. His favor is better than life itself. That you may constantly enjoy it is the earnest prayer of dear Sir Your faithful & obliged Servt C Wesley Bristol Nov 23, 1767 [Postscript written on verso of address panel:] Written after my severe illness Sept 1767 in which I was given over ten days.
