Letter from Theodore Parker, West Roxbury, [Massachusetts], to Convers Francis, 1840 Nov[ember] 21
Description:
Theodore Parker writes to Convers Francis in regards to justifying himself for having signed the call for a convention which has the "benevolent design' to "restore the dominion of most ancient night."
