Summary
Parkman expresses his disapproval of some of the language in a drafted version of "A Protest Against American Slavery by Unitarian Ministers" sent to him by Caleb Stetson, but states, "still I do not like to withhold my signature on these accounts exactly - to a document which on the whole pleases me so much." Parkman suggests amendments and asks May for his advice.
