Title:
Letter from B. R. Downes, Burlington, N.J., to William Lloyd Garrison, March 11th, 1849
Description:
B. R. Downes tells of his own financial difficulties. He says that Bishop Doane has gone bankrupt. B. R. Downes tells of the bigotry of the average citizen of Pennsylvania and especially a boarding house owned by a "family of pious pro slavery bigots." Counterbalanced by those "manifestations of prejudice" are the great workers of the abolitionist cause, namely Lucretia Mott, Henry Clarke Wright, and the Burleighs.
