James K. Camp writes to Amos A. Phelps about a new church to be started in New York. He heard about this from a couple from Wrentham with whom Camp got acquainted while visiting New York, and recommended Phelps as a potential preacher for the church. Camp says that Phelps's mother likes the idea, and that he himself likes the possibility since his own son now lives in New York as well.
