Letter from Samuel Joseph May, Boston, to Amos Augustus Phelps, April 5 1836

In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, Samuel J. May discusses a package of publications to be sent to Phelps. He also expresses his regret that Phelps decided not to settle in Boston’s Free Church. He then talks about a variety of topics, including the disagreement at the Pine Street Church regarding whether or not to allow the church space to be used for an antislavery convention, the success of abolitionists' proceedings in relation to the legislature, and May’s recent lectures in Abington, Lowell and Weymouth.
