Summary
Denying a rumor that he has turned away High Church missionaries to Nebraska; hoping that his explanation "will prevent the appearance of any article that would be unjust and untrue, and calculated to do more harm than good"; emphasizing that he is "ready to welcome to Nebraska or Iowa any minister who is devoted to his ... work, without asking questions as to his precise tone of Churchmanship."
