Letter from William Smyth, Brunswick, to Amos Augustus Phelps, May 27th 1839
Description:
In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, William Smyth expresses his disapproval of American Anti-Slavery Society’s vote on the woman question. He says he will not remain in connection with a society that sanctions Garrison’s view on the issue. He then says he was disappointed not to see the call for a new society in the last “Abolitionist.”
