After a brief introduction, are presented in English and Portuguese six letters written by John Wesley, an Anglican priest and spiritus rector of the Methodist movement, addressed to Samuel Hoare (18 August 1787), Thomas Clarkson (London, in August 1787), Granville Sharp (London, 11 October 1787), Thomas Funnell (24 November 1787), Henry Moore (Bristol, 14 March 1790) and John Wilberforce (of Balam, February 24, 1791). The five people belonged to the circles of the Society for the abolition of slavetrade , founded on May 22, 1787. Hoare, a Quaker, Sharp and Clarkson, both Anglicans, were founding members, Funnell, associate member soon after and Wilberforce and the leader of the parliamentary committee that dealt with the subject.
