Letter from Joseph J. Locke, Haverhill, [Massachusetts], to Samuel May, 1853 June 25
Joseph J. Locke writes to Samuel May declining May's request to lecture in Maine. Locke explains that his wife is ill and "she does not like to have me gone - even for one night." Still, Locke calls it a "matter of suprise & joy to hear that there was one town in Maine desirous of being supplied with a speaker for 'the 4th' by the Mass[achusetts] Anti S[lavery] Society." He also discusses being an agent for the society for Sunday meetings, stating that he does not think he currently needs the endorsement and he may not be able to hold regular Sunday meetings.
