Excerpt from The Life of Bishop Matthew Simpson: Of the Methodist Episcopal Church

IN the preparation of this life I have been placed under many obligations by friends of Bishop Simpson who have supplied me with materials. I desire especially to thank the Rev. George B. Smith, of Cadiz, Ohio, for aid given me at the time of my visit to that town; also to Professor Hamnet, of Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, and Professor James R. Weaver, of De Pauw University for help when I was in those places searching for information. I am also indebted to ex-governor A. G. Porter, and Dr. T. A. Goodwin, of Indianapolis, for their accounts of life in Greencastle, When the university was under the direction of President Simpson. Mr. John H. Nicolay, of Washing ton, the biographer of President Lincoln, very kindly made a search among the Lincoln papers for letters. And I beg also to thank Bishop Bowman, General Clinton B. Fisk, Dr. John Lanahan, Professor Joseph Tingley, President W. F. Warren, of Boston University, Mr. George H. Stuart, and other correspondents for reminiscences of the bishop which have greatly enriched this volume.
