Plain Text Transcription	To Mr Christopher Hopper in Aberdeen Bristol Sept. 29, 1764 My dear brother My judgment is this, that it is best for you to be at Edinburgh (but in a more airy lodging if it can be had for love or money) before the end of next month, J.ames K.ershaw at, and T.ommy H.anby at Aberdeen. If you have either love or pity for him, let him not stay too long at Dundee. His mind is by no means strong enough to bear that weight of applause. At any rate, take him out of the furnace or he will be consumed. And you well know a change is best for the people as well as best for him. Is it not easiest for him and you to change at a day appointed, and then for you to stay at Dundee till you are relieved by James Kershaw? Peace be with your spirits! I am, Your affectionate friend and brother J Wesley I hope you have been at Sir Archibald’s.
