• Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) Samuel May Correspondence.

Description

Samuel May Jr. (Writer) asks Samuel J. May (Recipient) for his opinions of Garrison, as well as his opinion of ́an appeal of certain Clerical Abolitionists ́ and their motives. Writer says he is asking this because Amos A. Phelps allegedly stated that Garrison was more eager to see the downfall of the clerical body than that of slavery. Writer expresses his own opinion on the matter and asks Recipient?s opinion of Amos A. Phelps as well, requesting a prompt reply and a permission to use it in rebutting Phelps?s statement.
