Letters and documents from and about John Pawson (1737-1806), who entered itinerant ministry in 1762 and was then ordained by John Wesley for work in Scotland in 1785. He was involved in many Methodist controversies, especially after Wesley's death, some of which are alluded to in the letters. Burton provides an extensive account of Pawson's efforts to "die well" in his last weeks; Buckley sends condolences on his death and ruminates on the afterlife.
