Bishop Pottter

23 May 1860

Bishop Potter informs the convention that he returned to the country to find that the convention had discussed division of the diocese and referred the matter to a committee.  He tried to speed things along with conditional approval at the 1859 General Convention of the Church, but due to a series of errors, his efforts misfired and the now the earliest that such a division can take place will be when General Convention meets in 1862.
