John Remond writes to William Lloyd Garrison discussing the funds raised for Garrison's trip to England, including a sum presented by the Colored Female Moral and Religious Society of Salem. Remond describes his efforts and those of other African-American abolitionists to raise money for Garrison, saying "I have long had a wish that our colored friends would do something for your in this quarter ...
