Fairbanks Papers Box 4 Document 31

Nashville, Sept 4th, 1869

My Dear Sir,

Agreeably to your request I have signed and enclose the paper you sent me. [Given?] the present state of public affairs, I doubt whether any business can be transacted. Members of the Board will find it difficult to leave their families.

I will write to the Bishop in a day or two. He gave a notice in the Church Intelligencer to meet at Columbia on the 9th October and seeing this prevented my attendance the 7th August.

With best regards.

Yours truly, F.B. [?]

G. R. Fairbanks Esqr. [N - Place?]
