If you do build, take care to have windows enough and two broad doors; and do not build a scarecrow of a house.
--To John Bredin, 1789
A preaching-house can't be too light or too airy? Therefore your windows must be large. And let them be sashes, opening downward; otherwise the air coming in would give the people cold... and see that whatever is done be done neat and strong.
-- To Edward Boulton, 1769
You must not undertake any building till two-thirds of the money it will cost are subscribed.
-- To Robert Costerdine, 1769
Letters of The Rev. John Wesley, A.M.
