Note 326 — Chapter XIX · LETTERS—1725–1735. (continued 2)

Samuel Wesley, jun., wrote to his brother John the day after he received this letter from his father; and a sharp correspondence was carried on between the two brothers, until the 4th of March 1735, which was within two months of their father’s death. John, however, at that time, remained as firmly convinced as ever that he could serve God and his Church better at Oxford than he could if he removed to Epworth.—Moore’s Life of Wesley, vol. i. p. 231.
