Description
Marley (Marlay) writes because he feels Finley should be informed of present circumstances. The delegates to the famous Convention now in session in Louisville, Kentucky passed through Cincinnati. While there, Dr. William Capers exhibited a letter supposedly written by Finley in 1839. Marley quotes parts of the letter indicating that Finley is in favor of Southern Methodism. Marley thinks it is probably a forgery, but advises Finley to keep an equal distance from both proslaveryism and abolitionism. Abstract Number - 807
