Title:
Letter from Samuel May, Jr., Leicester, to Samuel Joseph May, June 10, 1846
Description:
Writing to Samuel J. May (Recipient), Samuel May Jr. (Writer) offers his support for Recipient’s recently expressed view on the war against Mexico (Recipient is against it), and criticizes those who commented on Recipient’s article as well as the ministry whose “moral cowardice is fearful.” He also criticizes the American Peace Society, which refused to take a stance against the war. In addition, he reports on the Anniversary Week of [American Unitarian Association] in Boston and the opposition he met there. Finally, he says he submitted his resignation to his society again on the ground that it did not fulfill their agreed conditions.
