Description
Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.James Cropper writes to William Lloyd Garrison describing a conversation he had with Zachary Macaulay, in which Macaulay "thought we might justly give offence in America if we were to hold meetings where the avowed & leading object was the abolition of slavery in the United States" instead of criticizing the American Colonization Society. Cropper tells Garrison that Joseph Sturge was also present "and will give thee any further information." He proposes Garrison meet him "in the neighborhood of Aldermanbury" (near the offices of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society) to have "further conversation perhaps thou will see J[oseph] Sturge [and] Capt[ain Charles] Stuart &c & get them to attend."
