Reading edition
The following was written to Robert Dall, one of Wesley’s itinerants.
“Banff, January 1, 1777.
“Dear Father in the Lord,—The society has been stationary ever since you left us. We are often neglected. Lately we had only one visit in eight weeks. Mr. Wesley was here on the 20th of May last, and preached on the Parade from 2 Corinthians viii. 9. He supped at Lord Banff’s, and next night at Admiral Gordon’s lady’s house, with a great number of great ones; and, at their request, he preached in the English chapel to an elegant and crowded congregation. We are, etc., William and Isabel McPherson.” (Manuscript letter.)
