Title:
Letter from Rufus Austin Putnam, Chichester, to Amos Augustus Phelps and Alanson St. Clair, Sept 28th 1839
Description:
In this letter to Amos A. Phelps (and Alanson St. Clair), Rufus Austin Putman says that Phelps is right in believing that the most influential abolitionists is with the new organization, but that many abolitionists still identify Garrison with abolitionism. He criticizes Garrison’s positions to be “a non-violent, no-human-government, women’s-rights man.” He also expresses his regret that Parker Phillsbury is supporting Garrison. He then starts to write down some of his thoughts on St. Clair's letter. This continues to item MS A.21.10 (97).
