Summary
George Washington Frost Mellen writes William Lloyd Garrison sending an enclosed "communication" concerning the justification of the institution of slavery by the United States Constitution, which he hopes that Garrison might "admit into the columns of the Liberator". Mellen's communiqué concludes on the position that "slavery is not upheld by the Consitution".
