Abstract:
Writing about their negative impressions of [Robert Hervey] Lilly, believing him to have "an unhappy, jealous disposition." "We believed he had talents, a good memory, particular fondness for languages, & hopeful piety, & therefore thought he might be useful in some field of missionary labour. Each of us, however, thought that a connection with us would render us unhappy." Provide examples of his jealous and uncooperative nature, including their dispute over an address to Princeton Theological Seminary professors about establishing a new missionary board. See also R[ufus] Anderson ALS to Archibald Alexander and Samuel Miller, August 17, 1831.
