Letter from Arthur Tappan, New York, [New York], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1830 August 9

In this typed copy of a letter to William Lloyd Garrison, Arthur Tappan calls Garrison's project "a noble enterprise". He says that while he is "not sufficiently acquainted with you [to judge] whether you possess the various qualifications that must be concentrated in the editorial and publishing departments to insure success to a paper," he sends Garrison a check for $1 "to cheerfully aid you to the extent that you ask."
