Description

Morris is pleased with the prospects of the Western Christian Advocate. Subscriptions are increasing. [This newspaper began publication in 1834, with Morris as editor]. The majority of this confidential letter deals with his possible election to the office of Bishop in the Church. Morris is very embarrassed that his name has been placed into consideration. He tells Finley that he lacks a liberal education and self confidence, and does not feel called to fill a place of prominence in the Church. That said, he will not object to such an election if the brethren are all in agreement that he is worthy of such an honor. [Note: Morris was elected bishop in 1836]. Abstract Number - 1028
