Letter from Nathaniel William Taylor, [New Haven], to Amos Augustus Phelps, Apl. 8th, 1840
Description:
In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, Nathaniel William Taylor says that, because of the current excitement on the issue of abolitionism in the area, a considerable member of the most influential members of the parish in Meriden may not be willing to listen to Phelps or anyone speaking about the subject. He says the excitement may cool down in time, and he will do whatever he can do aid Phelps.
