John Wesley to his wife Mary ('Molly') Vazeille, Undated

Two pages of an undated and incomplete letter or note from John Wesley to his wife Mary ('Molly'). John and Molly had a difficult marriage, and this letter was written at a time when the marriage had broken down and Molly had left her husband. John Wesley concludes: "At present, you may return whenever you please to your still affectionate husband John Wesley".

John and Molly first split up in 1758, but they got back together and split again over the following years until Molly left John for good in 1771.
