[Letters concerning J. Wm. Jones] 1859 Aug. 1-5, Louisa C.H. [Court House] Va. to [John Albert Broadus] / Jno. L. Johnson. 1859.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48253658

Aug. 1. Wrote Broadus concerning the decision of his friend J. Wm. Jones to serve as a foreign missionary. "He told me he would be willing to go as soon as he could make the preparation, if the board would accept him." Jones had borrowed money to attend college, and Johnson proposed paying his debt and raising money to send him to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Greenville, S.C. Aug. 5. Had found support for the scheme. Now proposed to "appropriate the money that shall be subscribed to the outfit of the first missionary to Japan." In 1860, Jones was assigned by the Foreign Mission Board, Southern Baptist Convention, to sail for Canton, along with C.H. Toy, assigned to Japan. The outbreak of the Civil War forced the cancellation of these plans. Jones served as a chaplain during the war, and pastored churches in Goshen and Lexington, Ky. after the war.
