Description
Finley's letters have always been a source of pleasure and encouragement to Reed. There has been "considerable prosperity" in the Kanawha District over the past quarter. 200 folks have joined as probationers. MECS folks from Kentucky have been trying to gain headway but have not had much success. He is very anxious to know how the General Conference of 1848 will settle with the south over property. He reports that the Kanawha District has $10,000 worth of property with parsonages and churches combined. Reed argues that no MEC property should be transferred to the MECS. Any unconditional arrangement with the MECS over property will definitely injure his district. Abstract Number - 663
