[5?]-

as conservative clergy & Diocese
depend somewhat on this union. We
are too much in bondage to this
& Cincinnati - and are now suffering
from the Bishop introducing the
ex-editor of the West. Epis. (defunct)
into our Diocese, who, with some others,
are agitating among them selves &
[Redef. Miss. Scre.?] operations &c?
- but we are quiet and will act &
vote at the right time & in the right
way. Our sympathies are really with
the South & not with the radicalism
of Ohio. -

Would it not be well to organize
as soon as possible, if consistent with
your plans, Grammar schools for boys
at Sewanee, so that ripe scholars
trained under your own auspices, may
be ready for your University classes.

Yours Very Truly,
R. [M'Musdy?].

"No longer in existence, Shelby College operated at Shelbyville, Kentucky, with interruptions, from 1840 to around 1868. Bishop Benjamin B. Smith of Kentucky wanted a "Literary institution of an elevated character under the auspices of the Church in this Diocese." In 1840 the Diocese of Kentucky took charge of Shelby College, which was founded four years earlier. The Episcopal Theological Seminary in Kentucky operated as a department of Shelby College for a while in the 1840s."
