Title:
Letter from William Goodell, New York, to Francis Jackson, Robert Folger Wallcut, Samuel May, and the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society Board of Managers, Oct. 3, 1853
Description:
Goodell claims that the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society made no attempt to prove its assertions that his book, "Slavery and Anti-Slavery," contained false statements. He states that he did not write as a partisan and declares that most of the "Anti-Slavery labor of the country (political, ecclesiastical, and moral) has been conducted outside of either of these National Societies." He explains his relationship to William Harned and Daniel Foster. Goodell says that "so long as the zealous participants in the controversy and division of 1840, on both sides, continue to find fault, [...] so long I shall be encouraged to think that my earnest and painstaking effort to be impartial, has succeeded."
