Description

Young [superannuated] writes to his old friend Finley [Presiding Elder, Cincinnati District] wishing that they could get together for a face to face meeting because he has a lot to discuss. First, Young requests Finley's help to get Thomas A. Morris appointed to the Zanesville Station for the coming year. This appointment holds an important place in the Ohio Conference, second only to Cincinnati. A year under the leadership of Morris would really cement its organization. Second, Young has heard that Finley is ill and might not be able to continue as Presiding Elder. If not for the illness of Mrs. Young he would offer to serve on Finley's district. He misses the itinerancy and dreams of serving in the future, but fears that service on the district or on a circuit requires "good bodily health." He mentions the accident coming back from the General Conference of 1832 ("falling down the mountain") and its repercussions for his health. Abstract Number - 897
