Dear Billy,
J. Wesley
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.
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

You may still direct your letters to London.
I am,
Your affectionate friend and brother,J. Wesley
