Description

Holograph, signedMrs. Sarah Blake Sturgis Shaw is "dreadfully concerned about the result of the poposition to the English government from the W[est] I[ndian] planters, to bring colored laborers from Africa." France is about to do this. If England does the same, Mrs. Shaw will "fall down in despair." She asks what Maria Weston Chapman thinks of a petition from the American Anti-Slavery Society to the English government, "setting forth the fearful consequence to the Anti-Slavery cause here & the anxiety we feel upon the subject & praying them to resist the wicked plan to any degree." Mrs. Shaw thinks that "such miserable half & half hypercritical papers as 'N.Y. Times' & 'Boston Traveller' are doing all they can to help the bad."
