A reference to this, gives me the opportunity of introducing a letter from that aged minister, the Reverend Samuel Wesley, written rather more than a year before, in which he mentions the progress which he had made in a work that he was about to publish, and acknowledges the obligations which he was under to the General for kindnesses shown to himself and sons. Epworth, July 6, 1734. Honored sir,
She had preached to the people of the village of Epworth in the churchyard, because, forsooth, the chancel was a sacred place and would suffer if any one but a man, duly anointed, spoke there. The woman had a message and did the only thing she could: spoke outside, and spoke to two hundred fifty people, while the regular attendance to hear her husband was twenty-five.
The occasion of this booted walk was to hire a room for myself at Epworth, which I think I have done. You will find your mother much altered. I believe what would kill a cat has almost killed her.

"Night before last on the six-fifteen, and me getting home late from the Epworth meeting fire out not a stick of kindling-wood in only two cakes in the buttery, neither of them a layer not a frying-size chicken on the place thank goodness he didn't have the appetite he used to though in another way it's just downright heartbreaking to see a person you care for not be a ready eater but I had some of the plum jell he used to like, and the good half of an apple-John which I at once het up and I sent Mehitty Lykins down for some chops "
