Phelps, Henry B. Stanton expresses his surprise at the fact that Johnson of the Evangelists hasn’t written to Phelps, and says the chance for Phelps to write for the paper is slim. He then asks Phelps whether he would like the one remaining gentleman’s berth in the “Stephen Whitney,” the best means for getting to Europe for the upcoming Anti-Slavery Conference in London in his view. As to “the annual meeting,” Stanton says he and his associate “shall generally go for dissolution,” and lists the positions of various people on this matter.
