Sister Cheney, a maid servant of Prof. Sanford’s, applied for a letter of dismission, which was not granted, in consequence of some misdemeanor or difficulty in which she was involved. A committee was appointed consisting of Breth. P. Jackson, A. Cox, G. D. Hubbard to investigate the matter and if possible adjust the difficulty. No further business, the conference adj.
