Description

1863 April 19, Correspondence from J. Edward James, Franklin, Tennessee, to Lizzie James, Galena, Illinois.

Excerpt: "I am enjoying myself hugely. But pile on all the pleasure that circumstances will permit and soldering is at best, a lazy life. I am sorry that such a state of things exist in the church. I heard it stated in one letter that it was divided into two classes the "Whippleites" and the "Weighlyites". I know not two which you belong but I hope the trouble will soon be settled. There are all sorts of stories out here about the affair. I keep dumb about it and keep out of all discussions."
