Title: [Letter] 1859 Aug. 29, Glenmore, Orange Co. [Va.] to [John Albert Broadus] / C.H. Toy. 1859.

Wrote concerning the joint effort John L. Johnson and he had mounted to assist John William Jones toward going as a Southern Baptist missionary to Japan. Johnson had made "considerable progress. We have discussed the matter, and it seemed best under the circumstances that Jones should go to Greenville [as a Southern Baptist Theological Seminary student] instead of teaching school next session ... What do you think of the scheme? It would give you one more student from Virginia at the first session. I have been talking with Johnson on the propriety of his going to the Seminary next session." Jones attended the Seminary, and was appointed by the Foreign Mission Board, Southern Baptist Convention, to Canton, but was prevented from sailing by the outbreak of the Civil War.
