In this letter to Samuel May, E.A. Stockman states that while he planned to attend the Convention, "domestic circumstances" prevent him from going. He tells May that "we are doing (we think) a good work in Cummington - congregation rapidly increasing - The most radical anti-slavery & antisectarian ground taken in the pulpit every sabbath." Stockman also mentions that he has lectured in surrounding towns and "the field for labor is opening abundantly." He asks May if he could come to Cummington to discuss "our field of labor in this part of the state." Stockman then says that advertisements for his lectures, which appear "in the Liberator rather embarrases me," as he is "governed by circumstances in getting up meetings."
