Charles Turner Torrey writes to Amos A. Phelps describing his opinions of Taylorism (or New Haven theology). He then discusses finding a new minister for the church in Salem, stating his intention to "strain every proper cord to its utmost tension to get an abolitionist in there." Torrey also writes about his upcoming lectures in Beverly Village and Marblehead.
