Description

Finley's nephew, Rev. James W. Finley, writes to say that all of the family are well, except himself. He is currently recovering from influenza. J.W. recently brought Parker (brother) home from Lima with the intention of sending him to school, but Parker is not a scholar, and does not want to go. He wants to take up a trade and says if they wll not permit this now he will do so when he comes of age. Since James B. Finley is Parker's legal guardian, they can do nothing without his permission. J.W. is currently serving on the Piketon Circuit (Chillicothe District) and is very pleased with prospects there. The latest quarterly meeting was very successful, with 21 people added on probation. He is feeling more determined than ever to give himself to God's work. [Note: James W. died the following year, June 11, 1838]. Abstract Number - 971
