Dear Sammy,

Dear Sammy,
168Our Conference at Leeds is to begin on Wednesday, August 1. I hope to see you at it.
1There is no record that Furly attended this or any of the
Conferences. While repeatedly courted by JW, he did not become active in the
Methodist connexion.
If you are in Yorkshire some days
sooner, we shall have more time together. Your present call to
Kippax is clear.2Furly was preparing to move from
Lakenheath to Kippax, Yorkshire,
still as curate. He would come to know Lady Huntingdon while at
Kippax.
When you are called farther, that will be
clear also.
What avails all knowledge but that which ministers to the knowledge of Christ, and which qualifies us for saving our own souls and the souls of them that hear us? What knowledge you have of other things retain, but secure this in all and above all. I am, with love to Nancy, dear Sammy,
Yours affectionately,J. Wesley
