Letter from Joseph Sturge, Birmingham, to Amos Augustus Phelps, 10/18, 1841

In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, Joseph Sturge discusses some further actions he took in relation to the Admiralty's decision to decline the request of the Citizen of Boston to stop launching packet ships on Sundays. He received an encouraging note from Sir Andrew Agnew, the copy of which he is annexing. Sturge says he recommended that Agnew take an action for this matter with his own party.
