Title:
Letter from M. C. Hinkley, Hallowell, [Maine], to William Lloyd Garrison, Mon[day] noon, Nov. 20, 1843
Description:
M. C. Hinkley ask William Lloyd Garrison for a copy of the Liberator containing the letter by "Thomas P. Beach in which he gives an account of the causes which led to his leaving the ministry." There are two other letters by Thomas P. Beach that Hinkley wants to give to Mr. Thurston, the Congregational minister in his town. Hinkley describes Mr. Thurston: "He is one among a thousand--a truly honest man. I have never seen a person whose native love of truth I thought was greater than his & although he is so blinded by his sectarian education and does not believe in the 'peculiar views' advocated in the Liberator ..." Hinkley explains to Garrison that he has not distributed the petitions because "some of their expressions are not exactly in accordance with Non-Resistance principles."
