Summary
Sending him his reply to Bishop Potter and asking that he deliver it; saying he has sent a letter to "our Northern Bishops, asking them to sign a friendly welcome to our Southern brethren but adding that he has received only "3 answers, all declining to sign, though all friendly to the kind treatment of the parties concerned. Bishop H. Potter states that he had already written for himself and Bishops Clark and Coxe think it best to abstain from any concerted action. I presume therefore, that I must give that matter up and content myself with addressing Bishop Elliott, who, I suppose resides in Savannah."
