Description

Rev. Robert D. Smith has been appointed by the Mississippi Conference to serve as a missionary to the Choctaw Indians (Chahta Mission), along with Moses Perry. Though Smith does not know Finley, he writes to request 3 favors: 1) to visit his parents (Presbyterians) who live near Urbana. Smith has not seen them for six years. 2) to encourage folks in his charge to collect clothing for the Choctaw Indians. 3) to have a suit of clothes made by a tailor for himself. Smith gives his measurements and asks Finley to arrange the work and let him know how to get money to the tailor. Abstract Number - 843
