Description
The writer starts by telling of his almost constant defense of Finley as a non-abolitionist against the southern members of the church. He goes on to report conditions in Charleston. When he returned from Conference he learned the church was to be sold to pay a debt. By hard work this was put off. He mentions a strong southern influence that has to be contended with. Conditions in the church itself are very bad -- no regular attendance, etc. He expresses his hatred of the evils of slavery. Abstract Number - 812
