Haughton refers to his controversy with Dr. Francis Parkman in "The Inquirer." He tells May that he wishes the opponents of the temperance reforms would speak out against them. Haughton mentions "Amicus" and the "Lover of Justice and Charity." He tells May that the English are indifferent to slavery and reports that he met Reverend William James before speaking highly of John Bishop Estlin's anti-slavery pamphlet, "A Brief Notice of American Slavery, and the Abolition Movement." Haughton refers to a controversy between Reverend John Pierpont and his congregation. He tells of the abolitionist effort to compel the Scotch Free Church to return money received from slaveholders and discusses the Oregon boundary dispute.
