Anglican cleric and theologian (1703–1791) who founded Methodism. Rare ink signature, "J. Wesley,” on an off-white slip affixed to a 3.25 x 1.5 card, which bears another clipped slip on which Wesley has written, "London, Dec. 10, 1784." Matted and framed with a portrait of the theologian to an overall size of 17 x 21. In fine condition. This dates to just before the historic 'Christmas Conference' of 1784, which officially established the United Methodist Church in America. An exceedingly rare autograph, this is the first example we have offered in well over a decade. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
