| Summary: |
Thanks Holder for his remarks. Proposition was drawn up in haste to avoid division but as drawn up as 'private letters' Coke suggests he can retract them if a better approach is found. Overlooked usefulness of District meetings and promises to support them. Been confined to bed for nearly a fortnight but improving now, although had to employ a secretary. Asks Holder to pass on his above comments to other preachers. Coke explains further how ill he has been. Wants to avoid divison but took Moore's part as Trustees should not have expelled a preacher by their power alone. Asks Holder to come to [Wesleyan Methodist] Conference and promote peace and to mark a successful year in conversions.
John A Vickers states that only the latter part of this letter is in Coke's hand (page 203 of 'The letters of Dr. Thomas Coke' (2013))'.
