Letter from Parker Pillsbury, Concord, N.H., to Samuel May, June 16, 1859

Pillsbury asks why Oliver Johnson alternately praises and condemns Reverend George Barrell Cheever. He objects to a letter that Johnson wrote to May about him. Pillsbury says he disagrees with Stephen S. Foster about non-resistance and political activities. He criticizes the policy of advertising Horace Greeley's "Overland Letters" because they oppose enfranchisement of African Americans.
