Simpson writes to let Finley know that Bro. Gurley is in Cincinnati waiting until Monday for a boat and some letters he is expecting. [Note: Rev. James Gurley has been appointed by the Ohio Conference to serve as missionary to the Wyandots in Kansas who wish to remain aligned with the northern church]. Gurley would like a detailed letter of instructions and advice from Finley, as he needs to go to Kansas prepared. Simpson asks Finley to help Gurley in any way he can. He ends the letter with a warning -- The southern church is very bitter, and if they can stop the northern church in this situation, they will certainly try in others. It is time to take on the challenge. Abstract Number - 403https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1601...
