Letter from Simeon Smith Jocelyn, New Haven, to Amos Augustus Phelps, Aug 21. 1833

In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, Simeon Smith Jocelyn expresses his pleasure at the fact that Phelps’s lectures are soon to be published. He then says he has to decline to sign Phelps’s circular, only because he believes the document does not adequately describe the harm of the colonization society to the abolitionist cause.
