Letter from Amos Augustus Phelps, to William Lloyd Garrison
Summary
A. A. Phelps writes to William Lloyd Garrison that he takes exception to [Oliver] Johnson’s remark that antislavery “has moved forward thus far not only without the aid, but against the combined influence of the misters and churches of the country.” He cites Garrison’s own words from his editorial: “A very large proportion of the anti-slavery agents in the field are ministers, or those who are preparing for the ministry. The exception, we believe, are rare.” Another sheet included in this item contains notes on Henry Clarke Wright’s writings (dated from “Feb. 25” to “Oct 20”).
