From John Wesley to William ('Billy') Orp, Sept 18th, 1766

A letter written by John Wesley to William ('Billy') Orp in Wednesbury, Staffordshire.

Wesley outlines his views regarding trusteeship, presumably in relation to (new) Methodist chapels. He observes that only those who "love the house of God, & the whole Methodist Plan" should become trustees. The reference to a 'Methodist Plan' is noteworthy.
