Letter from Lewis Tappan, New York, to George Thompson, 1835 Jan[uary] 2
Description:
Lewis Tappan writes to George Thompson congratulating him on the birth of his son. He says he will be responsible for fifty copies distributed of the Liberator. He doubts whether New York abolitionists will support the Liberator due to its harsh language used by Garrison. He has heard from Weld, who is lecturing in Ohio. An Anti-slavery society was formed with Howard Alexander Campbell as its president. Mr. Birney has written a letter which he has published an extract in the Emancipator.
