With a letter of transmittal to Lothrop, Morison sends a draft of the American Unitarian clergy's reply to the address on slavery sent to them by the English Unitarian clergy. The reply states that the American ministers are unable to do anything practical for the cause of Emancipation. Morison's letter of transmitall explains that Reverend Peabody is sick and cannot write the reply to tne English address. Morison asks for assistance in drafting the American clergy's response and encloses his letter to May that Lothrop "may alter it if [he sees] fit."
