A long letter concerning the advancement and coordination of domestic Presbyterian missions in the southern states.

McDowell also writes of personnel changes in the church: "Brother Brown and Brother Kollock will both be at the meeting.the prospect of a union with our board I think is good and if that Presbytery comes in it will do much towards bringing all Virginia into close union with us. Brother Plumer expects to remove to Richmond.in the last Richmond TELEGRAPH you will find a rather interesting account of Mr. Brown's parting with his people." <br> <br> The writer Rev. William A. McDowell was Secretary of the Board of Home Missions for seventeen years as well as the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Bound Brook N.J. and later at the First Church in Morristown N.J.

He was likewise and author and a professor in the Seminary in Columbia S.C. from 1862 to 1880. <br> <br> Dr. Alexander W.
