Item Information

Title:
Letter from Joseph Hutton, King's Cross, [London], to Samuel May, March 28th, 1848
Description:
Hutton says he thoroughly agrees with the "English Unitarian's" critique of Reverend George Edward Ellis' article in the March 4th edition of "The Christian Register." Hutton objects to branding as pro-slavery those who are merely negligent and slow to act against slavery. He also dislikes the violent language of the abolitionists.
