Collection

Charles Wesley family papers

The collection consists of materials relating to Charles Wesley and the Wesley family from 1740-1864. The materials include correspondence and writings. The correspondence of Sarah Wesley (b. 1760) is with family and friends (mostly with her mother, Sarah G. Wesley, and her brother, Samuel Wesley) and pertains to family activities, travel, and beliefs. A later addition of correspondence between Charles Wesley and organist John Langshaw, pertains to Methodism, the American Revolution, and London musicians and music teachers. Other materials include Sarah Wesley's personal writings, Sarah G. Wesley's poetic psalms, and a manuscript version of Charles Wesley's poetic version of the Psalms. The greater part of the volume is in the hand of John Perronet, an associate of Wesley. The last twelve pages are in Wesley's hand.
