Description

Joseph S. Tomlinson has just returned from a trip to Maysville, Kentucky, where he stayed in the home of Johnson Armstrong and his wife. He writes a letter of appreciation to his hosts. [At the time, Tomlinson was completing his degree at Transylvania University in Lexington, KY. Graduating in 1825, he was admitted on trial to the Kentucky Conference in September of 1825 and appointed to a professorship at Augusta College in Maysville. Johnson Armstrong was a trustee at the college.] The letter is difficult to read and the author was initially identified as "Tolindaw". Comparing the signature in the October 31, 1844 letter, it is clear that both letters were written by Tomlinson. Abstract Number - 534
