Letter from William P. Weeks, South Berswick, [Maine], to Amos Augustus Phelps, 1828 Oct[ober] 22

William P. Weeks writes to Amos A. Phelps about money matters. He writes about an argument between himself and Uncle Hayman "upon the subject of your Academy Bills." He writes about religious matters in the town of South Berswick, specifically of Mr. Campbell: "his object was to embark in the Colonization Cause which he conceived to be his duty-some say let him go if he rather preach for negros than for white people-others say 'how the mighty have fallen.'"
