Letter from Nathaniel Peabody Rogers, [Concord, New Hampshire], to William Lloyd Garrison, [1844 January or February]
Description:
Nathaniel Peabody Rogers writes to William Lloyd Garrison declaring he does "not denounce denounce physical force as sinful, but merely an unwarrantable antislavery instrumentality."

In closing the letter, Rogers asserts, "I do not intend as the doctrine of the Old Society, but my own."
