Title:
Letter from William Henry Fish, Milford, [Massachusetts], to Samuel May, [18]51 July 7
Description:
William Henry Fish writes to Samuel May about making arrangements for the upcoming convention in Milford. Fish discusses the various options for where to hold the meeting, telling May that "the Vigilance Com[mittee] of Milford embracing some of the most energetic businessmen of the place promise to use their influence & activity in getting up a grove if need be, so you see we expect ample provisions for the meeting will be made in some way." Fish also states that the local Methodist and Universalist ministers "are much interested in Antislavery" and offered the use of one of their churches "if we could not get a suitable place" for the meeting.
