Summary

Correspondence to the annual conference of Methodists in Philadelphia in 1815. Letters to conference typically include: requests and recommendations for circuit preachers; reports of misbehavior by or censure of members; and requests for or receipts of financial compensation or other aid. A separate index of the correspondence for 1815 exists and is scanned separately. Many letters from this year discuss the bad behavior and subsequent suspension of one John Miller.
