In this letter, William Lloyd Garrison mentions the meeting in Manchester and the British India question. He urges the cultivation of cotton in India, believing that it will relieve the famine of the people in India and it will strike a blow at American slavery. He quotes from the pro-slavery newspaper the New York Herald, in regards to the India movement. Both Martin Van Buren and William Henry Harrison are hostile to anti-slavery. The Bostonians Hubbard Winslow and Nehemiah Adams, two deadly foes of the anti-slavery cause, are on a tour to England.
