Dr. Sir.

At the annual meeting of the Louisville Baptist Association which has just closed its session, the friday before the 2^nd sabbath on Nov. next was set apart as a day of fasting, humiliation & prayer in behalf of our county; all religious bodies in our state are requested to unite with us on the day. It was further resolved that you, (if consistent with you feelings) be requested to issue your proclamation setting apart that day for that purpose.

Hoping that this will meet your approbation & that you will comply with the request, I remain

Yours very Respectfully

R. D. Brown
In behalf of the Louisville Association
