Scope and Content

From Charles Wesley junior at the Foundery in London, to Sarah Wesley [in Bristol]. His aunts drank tea with them the other day and seem well. His lodgings at the Foundery are very comfortable and everybody is kind to him, but he misses his mother and his friends in Bristol.

He supposes that 'Sammy is quite a man now'. He trusts that his young brother will remember the songs, as he expects them to be sung well he returns.

Charles supposes that they will not now go to Marylebone as 'there is nobody to keep the house'. Reference is made to the family manservant Isaac.

He has written to Dr and Mrs Vigor and asks to be remembered to Mrs Farley, Betsy, Mrs Vaughan, Sally, Sammy and Prudence.
