Description
Walters writes to Finley concerning the whereabouts of Rev. A.W. Musgrove. Walters' much loved friend promised to attend the Christmas quarterly meeting but never responded to any correspondence about the meeting. When Musgrove first came to Dayton to serve Finley Chapel [1842-1844, assisted Brother Herr], there was no place for the nearly blind minister to live. The Walters family took him in and grew to love him. Walters does not understand why all communication has ceased and wants to know whether Musgrove is "dead or alive." He is also upset that Finley appears to have forgotten him. Walters declares that he needs to withdraw temporarily from the Methodist Episcopal Church for the sake of his soul and body, as he has been the subject of slander from church members for the last five years.
