Present in Session Moderator John Harris, Charles Story C. W. Miller W. Walker E. B. Benson Thomas S. Reese & Elam Sharpe. When the following letter addressed to the session was read V.I.Z. To the Session of the presbeterian Church at Pendleton Village Gentlemen
The object of this communication is to obtain a dismis- sion from your Church and attatch myself to the presby- terian Church in my immediate neighborhood. Perhaps before I applied this favour it was my duty to have appeared before the session & rendered satisfaction for some dificul- ties in which I have been involved since I attatched myself to the Church-I alude to the circumstance of Morrison and Gresham. I regret exceedingly that the difficulty did occur and more particularly on account of the injury which such things are likely to do the caus of Christ. I hope the Ses- sion will pardon whatever may appear amiss in my conduct in this instance; & rest satisfied that by the grace of god ennabling me I will endeavour for the future not only to steer clear of simmelar difficulties but to adorn the doctrins of the holy profession which I have made.
