Publisher
[Gloucester, England?]
Description
Holograph, signed
The handwriting appears to be that of Reverend George Armstrong, who marked the letter "private and confidential" and presumably forwarded it to Samuel May, with whom he had been corresponding about the reply to the Boston invitation. Armstrong's writing dates the letter: April 29th, 1847, Gloucester, England
Title supplied by cataloger
The copied letter indicates that the Boston invitation to Irish Unitarians was refused on the ground that, "It is reported, Brethren, that among the officers of your body for the present year-among the fifteen Vice-Presidents of the American Unitarian Association-there is, at least, one individual in the unhappy predicament of being a holder of slaves."

Subjects: Armstrong, George, 1792-1857; May, Samuel, 1810-1899; Western Unitarian Christian Union; Abolitionists; Antislavery movements
