The recent publication of a more complete edition of Charles Wesley's manuscript journal provides greater awareness of the personal trials he faced, including an accusation of sexual improprieties in late 1744. This article summarizes that specific case, identifies the woman involved, introduces a previously unpublished document clearing Charles Wesley of these charges, and reflects on possible motivations for soliciting this document five years after the event.
