A Primitive Methodist document to accompany travelling preachers when moving from one station to another. The document was part of a 'character', or reference, for the preacher.

The questions answered are interesting, especially no.4, 'If married, has the house he occupied been properly cleaned, and is the furniture etc., left in good condition, clean, and orderly?' It would appear that unmarried travelling preachers were not expected to clean their houses, and leave them orderly when moving to another station!
