Letter from Samuel Wolcott, Longmeadow, [Massachusetts], to Amos Augustus Phelps, 1846 March 31

Samuel Wolcott writes to Amos A. Phelps regarding his agreement to let Phelps use his foreign correspondence in the way he proposed. He writes, "I do not think it is a presuming attempt to put words into your mouth, for I shall expect you to make your own comments in your own language, but I could not so well let you know the general strain of remark that would meet my views & feelings." He requests that a change be made in his original correspondence if it is not too late. He also intends to visit New York City soon.
