Letter from Robert D. Smith to James B. Finley
No full textRev. Robert D. Smith has been appointed by the Mississippi Conference to serve as a missionary to the Choctaw Indians (Chahta Mission), along with Moses Perry. Though Smith does not know Finley, he writes to request 3 favors: 1) to visit his parents (Presbyterians) who live near Urbana. Smith has not seen them for six years. 2) to encourage folks in his charge to collect clothing for the Choctaw Indians. 3) to have a suit of clothes made by a tailor for himself. Smith gives his measurements and asks Finley to arrange the work and let him know how to get money to the tailor. Abstract Number - 843https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1330/thumbnail.jp
Letter from Robert D. Smith to James B. Finley
No full textRev. Robert D. Smith, a member of the Mississippi Methodist Episcopal Conference, does not want to remain in the south now that the southern states plan to secede from the MEC to form the Methodist Episcopal Church South (MECS). He considers himself to be part of the non-slaveholding or anti-slavery part of the church. Smith writes to Finley as one of the old order of the itinerancy, hoping that the Ohio Conference will consider appointing him to a congregation within its bounds. The letter demonstrates the conflict experienced by anti-slavery preachers living in the south at the time of secession.
