Leeds, April 30 1774. The teaching school in a preaching house does it so much hurt, & keeps it so dirty in spite of all the care which can be taken that we have made it a rule for several years “Let no School be taught in any preaching house”. Bit I commend your Desire if you had a proper place and a Master might easily be produced. If we live faithfully I shall nothing but Accept of your kind invitation. I am With Love to S Terry. Your affectionate Brother, J Wesley.
