Plain Text Transcription	To Mr [Edward] Jackson At the Preaching house in Sheffield London Oct. 24, 1788 My dear brother I commend you for denying (tic)kets to all that have neglected meeting their classes, unless they seriously promise to meet them for the time to come. You cannot be too exact in this. You do well likewise to exhort all the believers that are in earnest or would be in earnest to meet in band. But the bands in every place need continual instruction. For they are continually flying in pieces. But the grand means of the revival (of) the work of God in Sheffield was the prayer (m)eetings. There were then twelve of them in (var)ious parts of the town every Sunday night. (Keep) up these and you will keep up the flame. (I am) with love to S[ister] Jackson, dear Edward, Your affectionate friend and brother J Wesley
