Title:
Letter from Henry P. Cutting, Sterling, [Mass.], to Samuel May, March 2, 1880
Description:
Cutting deplores the attempts of certain individuals to represent themselves as abolitionists when they were in fact pro-slavery partisans. He discusses his early preaching experiences and tells about on of his first anti-slavery sermons. He says that Stowe, Vermont was a "nest of pro-Slavery men." Cutting thinks that the Unitarians are missing a great opportunity in the temperance cause.
