Title:
Letter from Aurin Bugbee, Charlton, [Massachusetts], to Samuel May, 1850 Sept[ember] 5
Description:
Aurin Bugbee writes to Samuel May telling him that if a meeting is held in Charlton, he thinks May should "preach from my desk in the morning on the subject of Scriptural Slavery, the hystory [sic] of slavery under the old and new Dispensation ..." He then suggests that Stephen S. Foster "could be heard either in the Calvinistic or Methodistic meeting," and other locations for two meetings. Bugbee also offers to post notices that May gives him and states that the Town Hall or "the new and convenient School house" could also be good locations for meetings. In the postscript, Bugbee says he will not be able to attend the "contemplated meeting at Leicester, but [it would be] profitable, no doubt, to me could I be present."
