Letters written in the interior of Cuba,

'Abiel Abbot (August 17, 1770 – June 7, 1828) was a prominent clergyman. He was born to John and Abigail Abbot in Andover, Massachusetts, and went on to study at Harvard University. He married Eunice Wales in 1796.

He started working as a preacher in Haverhill, Massachusetts in 1793, and remained there through 1803, after having been promoted to pastor in 1795. He then moved to Beverly, Massachusetts, and became a pastor there. He remained in that position through the end of his life.

In 1828, he travelled to Cuba to recover his health, and died of yellow fever on his way back. He had one book published posthumously, 'Letters from Cuba', in 1829.
