At your proposed meeting, which it will not be in my power to attend, I trust that just hatred of Slavery in all its pretensions will be subjected to that temperate judgment which knows how to keep a sacred animosity within the limits of Constitution and Law.
Accept my thanks for the invitation with which you have honored me, and believe me, with much personal regard and constant sympathy,
Sincerely yours,
Charles Sumner.
Rev. S. J. May.
