Description
Young [superannuated] asks Finley's permission to "meddle" regarding the new church building in Cincinnati [Wesley Chapel]. He advises Finley to build a "good Gothic building," built for future ages to look like "The House of God." He provides several architectural suggestions and hopes that the members will contribute the money necessary to erect such a grand building. Young also hopes that Finley will "let the Rads die in silence now, their power of annoyance is henceforth harmless as you have broken their "teeth" and cut their "claws." [Note: The Wesley Chapel building was razed in 1972]. Abstract Number - 894
