If this be true, I hope it is only for a day or two. We need you here very much." Revival was occurring in the Fredericksburg church. "I think you owe me a visit, among the first you owe to any one. Tiberius Jones is to lecture here Wednesday night and I would like to begin a meeting Thursday night with you here to help." Broadus left a revival in progress in his own church, to conduct meetings from Nov. 30 to Dec. 10, 1857, in Grace Street Church, Richmond, which Jeter pastored. Subsequently, he was summoned back to Charlottesville to continue the meetings there, and was unable to go to Fredericksburg.

Jeter. Now William wrote: "I forgive your going to Richmond rather than Fredg. provided you hold yourself in readiness to spend a week here beginning when the moon is 7 days old in March next." He reported the results of the series of meetings in his own church, which was led by Dr. Kingsford. "Nine have been baptized and many others are in a promising state."
