George Whipple writes to Amos A. Phelps regarding missionary matters in Jamaica. He writes, "You know well the importance of managing its affairs in such a manner as to secure the favor of God, and deserve the confidence and cooperation of christians."

He asks for this assistance due to Brother Renshaw's affairs: "bro Renshaw has become not a little disaffected with us because he finds in our paper strong evidence of Antagonism to the A.B."
