Letter from Joseph J. Locke, Nashua, N[ew] H[ampshire], to Samuel May, 1853 June 20
Joseph J. Locke writes to Samuel May discussing antislavery meetings he held in Nashua, Weare, and New Ispwich. He says that he has held "two good Anti-Slavery meetings in this priestridden village [Nashua]" and collected about $4.50, despite the opposition of the local clergy. One week earlier, he held meetings in Weare, where "the cause has many warm & devoted friends" and "donations to me were very liberal." Before that, he held meetings in New Ipswich where "the compensation received in the Col[lection]s was entirely satisfactory." Locke then asks May if he is now considered "an agent of the Mass[achusetts Anti-Slavery] Society, as he was told his agency would end in May but he has "not been informed whether it did or not." He says he does not plan to lecture much until September but asks, "shall I do so in the name & as a[n] agent of the Mass. Society.?"
