Letter from S. Alfred Steinthal, Bridgewater, [England], to Mary Anne Estlin, 1853 Nov[ember] 27
Description:
S. Alfred Steinthal writes to Mary Anne Estlin in regards to thanking her for sending him papers. He asks why people do not vote with the "intention of making use of Clause V of the Constitution and altering the American clauses (which encourage support slavery)." He discusses the Constitution and laws regarding slavery. He desires an anti-slavery news library. He wants to send his letter to the Advocate but first wants her "candid opinion." He discusses his sentiments on the papers she sent him. He discusses the hypocrisy of the clergymen and remarks, "To preach as he did from that tent...in order to inculcate obedience to slaves. It is too dreadful!" He is anxious to see the report of the Manchester Meeting.
