Letter from Elizur Wright, New York, to Amos Augustus Phelps, 1836 Feb[ruary] 13
Elizur Wright Jr. writes to Amos A. Phelps regarding the impossibility of printing Phelps' handbill because of the size of the press. He writes, "the longest sheet that can be worked on that press can by no probability receive the whole you had proposed. Besides the committee almost unanimously think the effort would be hurt if it could. There is a beautiful unity throughout the whole now. The part left off, though good by itself, would destroy the unity and lower the interest." He also mentions that he forgot to submit Phelps' New Orleans Handbill to the committee and will do so by the evening. He writes that the committee has appointed [Charles Calis] Burleigh, and "will try to get Thurston & Goodall both into it also."
