Plain Text Transcription	To Mr [Christopher] Hopper Bristol Sept. 3, 1763 My dear brother I am much inclined to think you will be more useful this year than ever you have been in your life. From the first hour, abate nothing of our Rules, whether of Society or Bands. Be a Methodist all over. Be exact in every thing. Be zealous; be active. Press on to the one thing and carry all before you. How much may be done before summer is at an end? Their little misunderstandings at Edinburgh you will soon remove by hearing the parties face to face. I hope a preacher is gone northward and brother Roberts come southward. I hate delay. The king’s business requires haste! I am, with love to S[ister] Hopper, Yours most affectionately J Wesley Take the field every where as often as possible. Who goes to the Highlands, now, quickly?
