Plain Text Transcription	To Miss [Mary] Bosanquet Near Leeds Yorkshire London Oct. 17, 1773 My dear sister I was laid up for a week or two last month but have now nearly recovered my strength. If I live till spring and am as well as I am now, I shall move northward as usual. I am glad you have begun that little meeting for prayer. It will not be without a blessing. T[homas] Lee may have half a dozen of the Instructions for Children to give as he sees needful. If you undertake the care of the books, I shall be under no farther concern about them, for I know what you do you will do in earnest. I wish you would immediately cause all the books which are at Birstal to be removed to your house. You will then be so kind as to send me a catalogue of them and of the books which you would have sent down. All those who keep my books for the future I shall desire to state their accounts once a month. But I do not know what you send me the bills for. I am, my dear sister, Your affectionate brother J Wesley
