Abstract:
Responding to news from Bishop Paine of the formation of a committee including the Methodist Reverend Marshall and two other members of the Arkansas Conference to investigate his “pecuniary business." Cottingham purchased the right to sell Newsom’s Tonic Medicine from a man named Rosser, who claimed the medicine was patented. Cottingham sold the rights to several counties before realizing that Rosser had deceived him. Willing to make restitution if the committee feels that is necessary. “I do feel that restitution shall be made to some one, and brethren it is for you to say to whom, and how much.” Hopes the elders will inform Bishop Paine that he is working towards restitution and can take "charge of work in the Texas Conference."
