Letter from Joseph Hutton, Dublin, to Samuel May, July 3rd, 1851
Description:
Hutton sends May a set of resolutions concerning the Fugitive Slave Law. He tells May that he is sorry to hear that the American Unitarian Association has declined to express an opinion on the matter.

He advocates nullification of the Fugitive Slave Law.
