Title:
Copy of letter from Samuel May, Geneva, to George Armstrong, Oct. 9 1843
Description:
May indicates he was pleased to learn of the interest of the English Unitarians in American slavery, and was much gratified by their address to the American Unitarian clergy. He complains of the former refusal of "The Christian Examiner" to print anti-slavery articles and commends articles on slavery by Reverend Andrew Preston Peabody. May rebukes the American Unitarians for doing nothing, with the exception of Doctors William Ellery Channing and Charles Theodore Follen. He complains that the Unitarian ministers, including Channing, condemn slavery and abolitionism with equal fervor.
