Copy letter from Philadelphia to Bishop Samuel Seabury of the Episcopalian Church, Connecticut, describing Coke's background in the Church of England, and how his opinions had moved away from advocating Methodist separation to one of reunion, as evidenced by the sermons he had preached in Great Britain.
He emphasizes the strength of the Methodists in the United States and how a union could be effected, namely by the acceptance of Methodist deacons and elders as ministers, and the consecration of Francis Asbury and Coke himself as Episcopalian bishops – not, Coke emphasizes, through personal ambition but to allay Methodist suspicions. He expresses his fears re Asbury's opinions on this matter.
