Undated — to His Mother

Neither the date nor the place of this letter is given. There are peace and revival in America. Asbury had sent thirty guineas before to his widowed mother, and this seems to be another thirty guineas. His father died in 1798. The Methodist Magazine places the letter in order after the letter of June 28, 1799. It was probably written in 1799 or 1800.

[About 1799]

[TO HIS MOTHER]

My most dearly beloved Mother:

I am yet living, with a restoration of health, to continue to labour and travel, night and day. I am, of late, more than ever invigorated, with a revival of religion in various happy parts of our continental field. Whilst war and want prevail (in other places), we have peace and religion. I have not time to write at large. I hope to manifest my duty and care, by sending you thirty guineas. You will please to let me know if this supply is sufficient. I am not in cash at present, but trust I shall be in a few weeks. I remain as ever, your affectionate son,

FRANCIS ASBURY
