1770
A letter written by John Wesley to Miss Bishop near Bath on 5th Nov. 1770. The two had started writing to each other exactly one year before, primarily about Miss Bishop's faith and the work of the Methodist Society in Bath.
Although he doesn't say so in the letter, it is surely no coincidence that Wesley writes to Miss Bishop on the anniversary of their first letter, and it is indicative of their correspondence that he asks a plethora of questions in this letter. Some are general, for instance about the society in Bath, but many are of a more personal nature. Wesley concludes: "See, I ask you many questions, because I have a mind you shd say a great deal to me!"
The correspondence between John Wesley and Miss Bishop was to last many years.
For comparison, see also Wesley's letter 1997/6661 in the Online Collection, written to Miss Bishop on Nov. 5th, 1769.
