Title:
Letter from Joseph Lupton, Leeds, [England], to Samuel May, November 8th, 1849
Description:
Lupton informs May that he is sending a box of contributions for the Anti-Slavery Fair. He apologizes for its small size, saying that there are so many other charitable demands on the people of Leeds that the abolition cause fared rather poorly. Lupton would like to know the customs charges on the box. He tells May that William W. Brown is coming to lecture in England and expresses his belief that Father Theobald Mathew went "sadly astray" and should not have come to the United States. Lupton praises Reverend James Martineau and says that many of his friends in Liverpool disapprove of William Lloyd Garrison's harsh language. He told them that they would use the same language if they were in Garrison's situation. Lupton inquires as to whether or not the northern states favor annexation of Canada.
