Summary
Nathaniel Peabody Rogers writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to his hesitation of "attempting something for the Liberty Bell. The thought of an "article" & for a book has completely disabled me." He discusses Christianity and poses "Can we abolish slavery?" He reflects and writes, "How slowly now turns the wheel of resolution, how heavy to Start it, and what a brave shoulder it took to give it the start here, against the terrible..inertia & dead weight, of a whole continent of apathy & moral death, our shoulder did start it, although it moves slowly now, you might as well check a White Mountain Slide, or the gusts Earth on her axle." He continues to discuss the abolishment of slavery.
