Letter from Charles Lenox Remond, Manchester, [England], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1841 November 16
Description:
Charles Lenox Remond writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to having some eight or ten boxes filled with contributions from England and Ireland for the Boston female anti-slavery society as well as the "Irish address" with upwards of a hundred thousand signatures. If he cannot obtain passage with the steamer sailing on the 19th, he will sail on Columbia which leaves on December 4th but he does not wish to have this known. He has been lecturing under the most "flattering auspices in Ireland" and he has been "instrumental in awakening much interest" for the cause. Remond was "less shackled and cuppled by the unwarrantable apprehension, & fears, defamation & slander in which follows in the wake of the new organization than at any time since my travels in Great Britain." He is grateful to George Thompson and Elizabeth Pease Nichol.
