Description

Rev. John Waterman writes from Wellsburgh, VA, his current appointment in the Pittsburgh Conference. Members of the Conference have gotten up a petition for a Methodist paper to be published in Pittsburgh, which has been approved pending the receipt of enough subscriptions. Waterman is opposed to the idea, believing that the paper will fail. He hopes that Finley will go ahead with publication of "his paper" [Western Christian Advocate] in Cincinnati because a Methodist newspaper is definitely needed in the west. Due to cholera, Waterman has been unable to sell his place in Wheeling. In a postscript, Wesley Browning writes a quick note letting Finley know that he is also certain that the Pittsburgh paper will not succeed. [Note: Publication of the Pittsburgh Conference Journal began on February 1, 1834, becoming the Pittsburgh Christian Advocate on October 28, 1840. Publication of the Western Christian Advocate began in Cincinnati on May 2, 1834]. Abstract Number - 559
