The Correspondence of the Rev. Charles Wesley, M.A. Volume 2

Part of the collection of Charles Wesley's personal letters. This is Volume 2 of a three-volume collection that gathers all personal letters written between 1750 and 1765 by Charles Wesley. It includes many items absent from any prior collection. The longhand letters, and those which survive only as Wesley's record in shorthand of a letter sent, have been carefully reviewed against the surviving sources for accuracy. They are fully annotated, including: 1) events, persons, and places mentioned; 2) Wesley's scripture quotations and allusions; 3) hymns and other literature quoted; and 4) current holding locations for manuscript sources. The collection is titled the "correspondence" of Charles Wesley because the transcription and annotation of letters he wrote were prepared in parallel with the transcription and annotation of all letters written to Charles Wesley. These "in-letters" have been made available online in conjunction with the print publication of letters Wesley wrote, with notation in both settings indicating which are replies to one another. The in-letters are publicly available online via Duke Divinity's Center for Studies in the Wesleyan Tradition.
