Description

Newson is serving with Samuel Hamilton on the Rehoboth Circuit, Zanesville District. [Date of letter is uncertain, but records indicate Newson and Hamilton were appointed on September 1, 1847 to serve together on this circuit, under Presiding Elder James M. Jameson, which would indicate a December 1847 date]. Newson describes his colleague Br. Hamilton as "lost in peace making amongst his old friends." He is well received but criticized for speaking so low. Newson tells of difficulties on the circuit, particularly at Somerset and Chilcote's. Presiding Elder James E. Jameson did a very fine job at the recent quarterly meeting. All are pleased with him. Most of the letter deals with Newson's feelings about the decline of class meetings, on the part of both preachers and people. Abstract Number - 244
