To William Allwood Norwich
March 6, 1759

Dear Billy,

You spoil my plan. I had appointed, with God's leave, to be at Wakefield on Wednesday, April 18. But you tell me I must be at York. If I must, who can help it? Then I must set out from Epworth that morning, dine at Selby about noon, and so go on in the afternoon for York.

1JW's Journal for Apr. 18, 1759 (21:187 in this edn.) indicates that he did just this.
But I hope you will begin the building directly. I suppose Dr. Cockburn has my plan.
2Dr. Thomas Cockburn of York, a younger classmate of CW at Westminster, who had become a supporter of the Methodist movement in York. He later moved to Jamaica, where he died in 1768.
Lose no time. I have some money in my hands for you.
3Probably funds raised for a new preaching house at York.
The King's business requireth haste .
4 1 Sam. 21:8 .
You may still direct your letters to London. I am,

Your affectionate friend and brother,
J. Wesley
