Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, Beriah Green expresses his approval of Phelps’s course of action in England, and condemns Phelps’s opponents. Green criticizes certain prevalent sentiments in the English society, but says Americans share some of the same flaws.
