Description
James says that he received Davis' letter of the 15th. He has no doubt that Davis could have served well at any station in the district, but is sorry to hear Davis claim that a "fat station" is due him. James advises that it is not the spirit of the Methodist itinerancy to fix on a place for one's labor, but rather, to accept the appointments one is given. According to Finley this letter is a "duplicate on an important subject", in other words, a copy preserved for future use. Abstract Number - 274
