Title:
Letter from Henry Brewster Stanton, New York, to Amos Augustus Phelps, Feb. 20. 1840
Description:
In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, Henry B. Stanton asks whether the Executive Committee (presumably of the Massachusetts Abolition Society) will allow him to come to the State and raise the $1250 apportioned to the “State Abolition Society,” presumably by the American Anti-Slavery Society. He also says that he and his associates will meet the manifesto of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society with a reply, and that he wishes “all the friends of good old Constitutional abolitionism” in Massachusetts will attend the next annual meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society.
