On this day, October 25th, in 1732 Susanna Wesley writes to her sons who were away at university [in Oxford]:
"I must tell ye, Mr John Wesley, Fellow of Lincoln, and Mr Charles Wesley, Student of Christ Church, that ye are two scrubby travellers and sink your characters strangely by eating nothing on the road...I wonder ye are not ashamed of yourselves. Surely if ye will but give yourselves leave to think a little, ye will return to a better mind."
