Plain Text Transcription	(To Joseph Ben)son (Kingsw)ood School near (Bristol) London Janu. 27, 1770 Dear Joseph All is well. We have no need to “dispute about a dead horse.” If the school at Trevecka is the best that ever was since the world began, I am glad of it and wish it may be better still. But do not run away with any of my young men from Kingswood. That I should blame you for. I have wrote already to T[homas] Simpson and will write again. Do all the good you can in every place. I am, Your affectionate brother J Wesley
