Description
Rev. Edward H. Taylor has read some of Finley's articles in the Christian Advocate & Journal and feels compelled to write to his old friend. He reports that his mother died on February 19, 1834. He has been part of the Pittsburgh Conference since it was organized but would greatly prefer an appointment in the Ohio Conference. Mrs. Taylor (Lydia Barstow) is doing well. They have six children, four sons and two daughters. Lydia writes her own note to Finley at the end of Edward's letter. She has never really been happy in the Pittsburgh Conference and hopes that her "special friends", Finley and Jacob Young, can suggest a transfer of Taylor to the Ohio Conference.
