Plain Text Transcription	To Mr Jos[eph] Benson At Mr Rob[er]t Mckie’s in Glasgow London March 4, 1774 Dear Joseph I am glad you have been in Greenock and think it highly expedient that you should follow the blow. Meantime let brother Broadbent supply Glasgow and Billy Thompson Edinburgh. I think with you that it is no great matter if Dunbar be left for a season. When you have been three or four weeks at Greenock and Port Glasgow, brother Broadbent should change with you. But I agree with you, the harvest cannot be so large till we can preach abroad. Before I settled my plan that thought occurred, “It would be better to go a little later into Scotland.” Accordingly I have contrived not to be at Glasgow till Friday, May 6th, coming by way of Edinburgh. Probably it may then be practicable to take the field. I incline to think it will be of use for you to spend another year in that circuit. I am, dear Joseph, Your affectionate brother J Wesley
