Squire Gray Eyes and John M. Armstrong write to Finley reporting that the enemy is at work at the mission in Wyandot City. Evidently, the Southern missionaries are dividing the Indians concerning membership in the MEC North vs. the MEC South. Our slave dealing missionaries are willing to resort to any means whatever to maintain their grasp upon the Indians. A meeting was recently held attended by nonprofessors, slave dealers, infidels, inebriates, and backsliders. This group sent a letter to the Ohio Conference stating that the Indians in the Kansas Mission had decided to align themselves with the MEC South, in direct opposition to the previous letter sent by the valid congregation requesting alignment with the MEC North. Squire Gray Eyes and John Armstrong bewail the actions of this unofficial, invalid group. Abstract Number - 783https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/2289/thumbnail.jp
