Methodist Episcopal Church History Part 2

142I– Handwritten Draft of Letter to Editor of Unnamed Publication, Undated
Walker was shown a copy of the "Western Christian Advocate" in which he was accused of falsehood, gross assault, and threatening other tribes. He would like to know the identity of his accusers, and he demands of him to "point out the 'falsehood' in the report made to Washington." The final portion of this draft letter contains a pencil notation stating that it is "Part of the answer to Wheeler's letter."

142J – Handwritten Letter from James Wheeler to William Walker, January 7, 1847
Wheeler notes that despite the problems in the world, his family is enjoying good health and contentment. He then updates Walker on John, Thomas, and Mary; and asks if Brother Peery has received his letter, since two post masters have been "committed to jail for purloining money and letters from the mail."

142K – Handwritten letter of Wyandot Mining Company and California, c. 1847, Concerning Slavery and List of Stockholders
Walker believes that to preserve peace on the frontier, the Indians should not be forced to make decisions about slavery, and that people who are preaching about this subject should be kept out of the Indian Territory. The back of the letter contains a list of "Stockholders" and "Going."

142L – Indian Mission Conference – Draft Resolutions, c. 1850
Walker mentions the Treaty of 1842 and the split of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1844. Walker states that the Wyandott nation is content and satisfied to remain "under the pastoral charge of the Indian Mission Conference."

William Walker Jr. to the Editor, c. 1850
Walker notes that he saw a communication in the paper from Reverend J. B. Finley accompanying a letter from Esq. Gray Eyes asking for a missionary to be sent to take charge of the church. Walker accuses Esq. Gray Eyes of propagandism, and of stirring up trouble among the Delawares, Shawnees, and Kickapoos.

142M – Handwritten Draft of Letter to Editor of “Outposts of Zion”, William H. Goode, 1865
Walker is writing to Reverend Goode regarding his book, "Outposts of Zion," which Walker feels contains attacks upon him personally and the Wyandott people generally. Walker states that for the "sake of ease and perspicuity in ventilating these grave charges," he will break down his points into numbered items.
