Abstract:
Glad that the Linonian Society at Yale College approved of his work, but its publication has been suspended due to financial reasons. Will only proceed with publishing if he secures enough subscribers, currently numbering 170. Sent circulars to members of Congress and notes some subscribing to the work. Has been communicating with Professor Thatcher at Yale on providing lectures on the topic of "Slavery in the United States. Its national recognition & relations, from the Establishment of the Confederacy to the present time." Would lecture "without any sectional bias, or partisan references or aims," but if the subject is "too sensitive, I might develop the principle & theory of… National, State, & Territorial Sovereignty, in the United States." N.B. In 1858, Sherman published Slavery in the United States of America; Its National Recognition and Relations, from the Establishment of the Confederacy, to the Present Time. A Word to the North and the South (Hartford: J. O. Hurlburt, 1858).
