Description
Adam Poe is currently serving the Mansfield appointment, Mt. Vernon District, North Ohio Conference. He writes to Finley on behalf of the father of Robert Bowland. Robert has been convicted of killing his brother-in-law and will soon be sent to the Penitentiary. Poe writes that Robert has been converted while sitting in jail. It is hoped that Col. Dewey will place him in a situation that will not aggravate Robert's broken health (heart palpitations) and spirit and that Finley will provide him with spiritual sustenance. Abstract Number - 1060
