Written on one side of a single sheet of laid paper, with breaks along folds, one chip, some discoloration, ink smears, and folds that interfere with some legibility, old repairs on verso, 8 x 5 1/2 in. [Together with] Charles Wesley's letter, addressed to a Mr. Benson, 25 July 1772, reassuring him about his calling, encouraging him to stand by the Church of England, reporting news of forthcoming publications, and providing some domestic news concerning Wesley's dog having gone mad. Written on a folding bifolium of laid paper, over three pages, folded self-envelope style with recipient's name, old wax seal, some slight tears, marginal chips, old folds, 12 x 7 in. [And] Nine illustrations depicting Wesleys. (11) "Give not place to the least disaffection to the Church of England. God has a favor to her more [...] than any National Church in Christendom. They shall prosper that love her."
