To Walter Sellon
1On Walter Sellon, see 26:121 in this edn.
 London
December 1, 1757

My Dear Brother,

If only one stone were removed out of the way, the thing might be immediately effected. Only prevail upon John Brandon

2John Brandon of Leicester, who had apparently just begun to itinerate, though official lists are spotty until 1765, where he appears (see 10:304 in this edn.).
to spend a month or two in London or any other part of England, and I will immediately send another preacher to Leicester, Ashby, and the 108adjacent places. But during the present scarcity of labourers we cannot spare a second for that small circuit, till you spare us the first.

It is surprising that, from one end of the land to the other, so little good is done in a regular way. What have you to do but to follow that way which the providence of God points out? And when they drive you from Smisby, you know where to have both employment and the things needful for the body. I think also it will be highly profitable for your soul to be near those who have more experience in the ways of God.

I am,
Your affectionate brother,
J. Wesley
