Title:
Letter from Parker Pillsbury, Edinburgh, to Samuel May, Sept. 26, 1855
Description:
Pillsbury discusses articles that he wrote recently for "The Enquirer" and "The Anti-Slavery Advocate." He tells May that "Andrew Paton perseveres with his Sunday Steamer Enterprise." Pillsbury discusses the Scotch clergy and asserts that "Intemperance is disappearing in this country [Scotland] much faster than in England or Ireland." He gives an account of his lecture schedule and tells May that he is trying to get a letter from George Armstrong that was written by Lajos Kossuth, who denounces the British and American abolitionists. Pillsbury reports of the difficulties of Julia Griffiths.
