Letter from John Bishop Estlin, Bristol, to Samuel May, June 16th, 1847
Description:
Estlin informs May that he is endeavoring to bring the English Unitarians' attention to the matter of slavery. He says that he purposely attended a Unitarian meeting in London after receiving what he mistakenly believed was an invitation from the American Unitarian Association to the British and Foreign Unitarian Association to address "the fact of the slaveholding V[ice] President."
