Description

Young has just returned from his first round on the District [Presiding Elder of Lancaster District]. He finds that the preachers are all well but the people "generally dull." He asks Finley what is going on at the Mission. He hopes that Finley's heart and affections have been "weaned from the attachments" he has formed there [Finley is in his last year of appointment as missionary to the Wyandots; appointed Presiding Elder of Lebanon District in September of 1827]. Young has grave doubts about the permanency of the Mission. He ends his letter with the statement "I am as ever Methodistically old fashioned." Abstract Number - 885
