Letters of the youngest son of Charles Wesley (1707-1788). One letter in 1813 refers to his child's death after a small pox vaccination. There are two undated letters written by Wesley during a period of failing health. The letter addressed to Mrs. W. divulges details on what he intends to leave his family in his as-yet unwritten will, and comments on what he perceives as the societal corruption brought about by the French Revolution. There is also a manuscript poem to the Earl of Oxford.
