Plain Text Transcription	To Mr [Joseph] Pilmoor At Mr Lupton’s, Merchant New York Dublin 27 March 1771 Dear Joseph I cannot find your letter high or low so that at present I can only answer it by guess. There are some of our friends here who bitterly condemn both you and Richard Boardman. This they do in consequence of a letter from one of their correspondents at New York who asserts, “That the preaching-houses there and at Philadelphia were settled in the manner of the Methodists. But that one or both of you destroyed the first writings and procured others to be drawn wherein the houses are made over to yourselves.” I could not tell how to answer the charge. Send me the plain state of the case that I may know what to say. I think the matter must be greatly misrepresented. For where are the persons I can confide in for disinterested men, men of a single eye, if Richard Boardman and Joseph Pilmoor are not such? What is become of Robert Williams? Where is he now? And what is he doing? Are he and John King of a teachable spirit? Do they act in conjunction with you? Still I complain of you all for writing too seldom! Surely it would not hurt you were you to write once a month. O beware of every degree of sloth or indolence! Be good soldiers of Jesus Christ! And send a circumstantial account of all your proceedings to, dear Joseph, Your affectionate friend and brother J Wesley
