John Wesley and Miss Bishop, resident near Bath, first struck up a correspondence over Miss Bishop's faith in 1769. By 1774, Wesley and Miss Bishop knew each other well; they had been in regular correspondence about the Methodist Society in Bath and personal affairs, and they had met a number of times in Bath.
In this letter written on June 17th, 1774 from Sunderland, Wesley discusses primarily personal and faith matters, including the notion of self examination, or "double watchfulness", to stay on the right path.
