September 17, 1791 — to Thomas Morrell

It is clear that Asbury is concerned for the New York churches. Thomas Morrell had started the new church under Asbury’s

direction. Now Asbury is concerned for John’s Street and the new church.

[TO THOMAS MORRELL]¹

My very dear Brother:

I am brought hitherto in great love and mercy. If you should be able to come, I hope it will be for the glory of God and my comfort. So unstable are all things here. Will you put up two or three dozen of [?] cases² and an equal number of concordances? I expect my horses will be in ease, and we can go till you can fit yourself. I feel the want of closer communion with God and a steady walk with the Lord. It will be well to put matters upon as good a train as you can; temporalities and spirituals; we must try to help forward the concern in John’s Street.³ I have great faith to believe God will do great things for us this year. Your horse is excellent for drawing,⁴ if you can sell him, it will be best. My time is short and am in company. Peace be with thy spirit.

As ever thine in Christ
