Dr. Joseph Tomlinson (president of Augusta College in Kentucky), tells Finley about the recent successful commencement. He then discusses Augusta\u27s financial and legal difficulties, brought about by the division of the MEC into a northern and southern church. Tomlinson suggests the creation of a Kentucky District within the conference of the Ohio Methodist Episcopal Church. He believes that a large portion of Kentucky Methodist societies would align themselves with the MEC rather than the MEC South. [Note: the state of Kentucky revoked the college\u27s charter on February 26, 1849]. Abstract Number - 638https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1734/thumbnail.jp
