A letter from the Philadelphia Board of Education to John Finley Crowe, 1787-1860 over their efforts to fund male students who aspire to serve as Presbyterian Ministers but are unable to complete their education due to insufficient funds. The Board writes about the process involved with giving these aspiring students money. The Board also discusses the need to save souls in the world from damnation and the necessary training required for young ministers for this work. The Board ends the letter soliciting Crowe for money in order to keep educating future ministers.
