WILLIAM HENRY FURNESS (1802-1896). Furness was a clergyman and a writer. ALS. 2pp. 5 3/4” x 9”. Phila. Dec 12 ’54. An autograph letter signed “W H Furness” to an unnamed correspondent: “Yr difficulties recall my own thirty years. I was months trying to get persons to come on to my ordination, & an ordination was a great deal more thought of then now. Since you cannot have J. Weiss I for my own part do not feel the occasion of your ordination to be so interesting. I do not think Dr Dewey is the man to preach at your induction to the pastoral office. He is a dear old friend of mine, but I have not seen him since he avowed himself ready to send his kindred into slavery for the sake of the Slaveholding Union. His petition is utterly false & wrong on the great question. Heaven scatters his ‘Twilight’! I am in not the very best health. An unusual amount of pastoral duty has devolved upon me for some months past. We have just lost a most dear friend, a friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson…”. Furness likely refers to Dr. Orville Dewey here; Dewey, a minister, was an opponent of both slavery and the abolitionists, subjecting himself to criticism from both sides. The piece is in fine condition with dark ink on pale blue paper. Mounting trace on verso
