Letter written by Sarah Wesley (1759-1828), daughter of Charles Wesley (1707-88) and Sarah Gwynne (1726-1822). The recipient was 'Miss Tooth', probably the daughter of the builder of Wesley's Chapel and one-time Methodist preacher, Samuel Tooth.
The Tooths were closely involved in Chapel affairs in the late 1700s and early 1800s; they were also friends of the Wesley family. In this short and somewhat nagging letter, Sarah Wesley, expresses concern for Miss Tooth, tells her about a servant with a cold, and that she cannot find a conscientious servant, "an all work woman".
