Title:
Letter from H. Jones, Cabot, [Vermont], to William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp, 1833 Nov[ember] 15
Description:
H. Jones writes to William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp sending them money through the bearer of the letter, "Mr. Cutting," to pay for "hand bills you published for me last summer," as well as for copies of Garrison's "Thoughts on African Colonization" and Lydia Maria Child's "Appeal". He also requests the Liberator be sent to him while he is in Cabot and comments on the colonization movement, noting "there is scarcely a vestige of it in this town." He also tells Garrison that he received a letter reporting Oliver Johnson delivered an antislavery lecture in Danville that was "much approved generally." Jones then discusses his suggestion to Garrison for creating a "travelling agency under the National Anti S[lavery] S[ociety]" but since the creation of the organization was put off to December, he is "now in surprise as it were, not knowing whether it is even probable that my labors will be wanted in that great work." He asks Garrison to respond to the letter and tell him the "probability of my being wanted to commence travelling & lecturing as Mr. Buffum is doing." In the postscript, he promises to "settle for the Liberator while I have it come" and offers to help "obtain some other support for it here."
