Autograph letter signed (‘John Wesley’) to Tho[mas] Lee, Bristol, 15 August 1783. ‘Joseph Bradford is without delay to desire the Assistance of our Friends in London for the House at Nottingham. I hope all our Brethren will exert themselves therein...’. One page , small 4to (200 x 157mm) , (seal tear, the loss preserved with the seal). Framed, laid down.
