[Letter to] My dear sir and brother

Description

James apologizes to May for not writing sooner. He mentions the address on slavery and how difficult it was to procure signatures. James speaks specifically of Mr. Martineau's unwillingness to sign because he could not share in the burden of unpopularity which would be the lot of the Unitarian abolitionists. James states that he awaits an answer to the address. James also tells of the struggle against the Chapel Bill and the activities of Joseph Barker among the poor people in northern England.
