Description

Rev. Robert Spencer (appointed to Chillicothe Station), writes to James B. Finley (Presiding Elder of the Chillicothe District). Spencer's letter contains a copy of a letter to Finley from John H. Fielding, written March 21, 1836, from St. Charles, Mo. Fielding is facing charges in the Ohio Conference on a complaint lodged by McKown (Burr. H.), professor at Augusta College. At the time of this letter Fielding has already transferred from the Ohio Conference to the Missouri Conference, having been appointed president of St. Charles College in the St. Louis District. Fielding is making arrangements to return to Ohio in order to face the charges. Spencer in turn discusses the situation at the Chillicothe Station. Prosperity "is not quite so flattering as some time past." Though it is a large and attentive congregation excited about revival, folks are easily divided over differences of opinion.
