- Extent:
- 1 item
- Scope and content:
-
Writing from school, Charles Wesley, III, informs his uncle that he has visited with his aunt (presumably Miss Sarah Wesley), has seen the dead body of his master, Mr. Cooper, and has lost three pairs of shoes. On the same page is also a letter by Samuel Wesley to his mother, in which he explains the death of Mr. Cooper, who fell off a horse in an apoplectic fit as he was headed to a friend's funeral. He also indicates that Mr. Cooper had been trying to resolve the shoe theft mentioned by Charles, intending to buy a pair for every boy who had lost shoes out of his own pocket. Wesley observes Charles' low spirits in light of his master's death, and looks forward to taking him away from the school during the next holiday.
