Letter from Myron Eells on sending his publication of Congregationalist history
New Tacoma W.S. Sept. 17, 1880
Rev. H. Lyman
Dear Sir
As chairman of the committee on the publication of my history of the Association I send it to you with this in a registered package. I should have finished it sooner but was waiting for a few items from the minutes of this year-Page 18. Delegates to the National Council of this year perhaps you can fill out more definitely before it shall be published. Dr. Atkinson has just written me that it is quite doubtful about his going, but you may know certainly the history of the Dallas church. Chap 12. You may be able to write out better & also you may be able to fill out some of the blanks in the ministerial sketches chap 11. Especially Mr. VanDersals, which I have been unable to obtain. Mr. Heines is with you on the committee, the other one I have forgotten but will send to you as soon as I reach home.
If you or the others of the Committee think best to correct it in places or leave out certain parts, please feel free to do so. I am aware it is long, but have been unable to decide what it is best to suit & have thought the committee would see with different eyes than I can.
Left home yesterday to visit the Indians. All were well. Is Mr. Boynton still in the Indian school & how does it seem to prosper. My kind regards to all the children. What are the prospects in regard to the publication of the sketch of Dr. Marcks life.
Sincerely,
Mr. Eells
