Title:
Letter from Sarah Moore Grimkè, Fort Lee, to Elizabeth Pease Nichol, 1838 [November] 18
Description:
Sarah Moore Grimkè writes to Elizabeth Pease Nichol regarding her query "relative to our minister in France-England. I do not know any thing about him save...that he is a slave breeder and that it was absurd for him to take umbrage at the fair inference drawer by D. G. Cromwell from that fact." She regrets that the Emancipator does not reach Elizabeth regularly as the newspaper gives information concerning the anti-slavery cause. She will tell Theodore to put some of the last into a package for her. She speaks of George Thompsons' services in the cause. She writes of William Howitt's new work and "some copies of it will find their way into our book stores." She sends Elizabeth the proceedings of the Peace Convention. She also mentions William Garrison's health has improved.
