Plain Text Transcription	To Mr Rankin At Mr Jos. Andrews In Redruth Cornwall Limerick June 9, 1765 Dear Tommy You see my plan on the other side. Tell me of any alteration or addition which you think proper. And fix the Quarterly Meetings as you please, only let full notice be given. Brother Roberts has reunited them at the Dock, and I have a mild, loving letter from Brother Jane. Nevertheless, it is a doubt whether I ought to go to the Dock at all before the house is settled. ’Tis a pity if a ready passage should offer, but one could exchange with George Story. You know the man. If it cannot be, we must be content! Peace be with your spirit! I am, dear Tommy, Your affectionate friend and brother J Wesley To the Leaders and Stewards Limerick, June 9, 1765 My dear brethren Yours of March the 28th I received yesterday. I shall have little time to spare this autumn. Yet I will endeavour, with God’s leave, to spend a few days in Cornwall. I hope to be at Tiverton on Tuesday, September 3d; on Wednesday, 4, at Biddeford; on Thursday, the 5, at Millhouse; on Friday at Port Isaac; on Saturday the 7th at St Cuthbert’s; on Sunday morning and afternoon at St Agnes; on Monday, 9, St Just; Tuesday, 10, St Ives; Friday, 13, St Just; Saturday, 21, Bristol. Let Mr Rankin fix the time and place of the Quarterly Meetings. Peace be multiplied upon you! I am, my dear brethren, Your affectionate brother John Wesley [The beginning of each line of the postscript is affected by charring] I write today to have the Select Hymns reprinted. ’Tis pity but every one that is renewed had them and the Farther Thoughts.
