Item Information

Title:
Letter from Frederick Douglass, Kilmarnock (Scotland), to Richard Davis Webb, 29 March 1846
Description:
Frederick Douglass writes to R.D. Webb that he has not written to him for a few weeks because he had nothing of importance to report. He thanks Webb for the books, the Liberty Bell with a note from Maria Chapman, and the letters from home that he sent to him. Douglass says he did not expect the Liberty Bell from Maria Chapman because she seems to fear he was "bought up by the London Committee." He says he is "still an old organized Garrison abolitionist."
