Letter from George Thompson, Roxbury, [Massachusetts], to George William Benson, 1834 December 8
Description:
George Thompson writes to George William Benson in regards to postponing his speeches in New York and Providence due to his wife's confinement and other assignments. He has given lectures in Boston, in particular "in the Hall adjoining the AntiSlavery Rooms. It was crowded to suffocation and more were obliged to depart without hearing than could obtain admission." He plans to lecture again in Boston in a few weeks. He hopes to spend a sabbath with Benson as soon as possible.
