description: A letter from Sarah Wesley to her brother, Samuel, discussing lingering anger between him and their late father over a relationship Samuel had been asked to break off, explaining her views on marriage and asking him to consider why he is so resistant to the idea of marrying the woman he is having a relationship with, asking whether he would like to read with her some evening, and reminiscing about their uncle. Sarah includes a quotation from Horace's Epistles Book 1, poem 18, "percontatorem fugito, nam garrulus idem est, / nec retinent patulae commissa fideliter aures" which translates to "avoid the inquirers, for [they] are also talkative (betray secrets), nor [are] wide open ears reliably trusted."
