[Letter] 1854 Mar. 27, Sacramento City (Calif.) to "Bro. Broadus" [John Albert Broadus] / Edwd. Willis. 1854.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48214480

Presents unanimous call to Baptist Church in Sacramento City. "We all feel that it is a responsibility of no small moment. We all feel the importance of having a minister from the South--not that we have any idea that any feeling will ever exist among us upon any subject connected with North or South. We all feel that California is common ground for both sections of the Union. But we are convinced that if we had a minister here from the South with whom the Southern Board could regularly correspond and feel that they had some interest here, they would do more for our state in sending ministers ... Bro. Rollinson, Pastor of the Pine Street Baptist Church in San Francisco came up on a visit to us last week. He was the successor of Brother Gillette at Raway [sic], N.J.I will write to Bro. J.B. Taylor and if possible get the Southern [Domestic Mission] Board to pay the expense of your outfit and passage to California."
