Description
A donation letter from A.A. Guthrie on behalf of various individuals pledging support for the Amistad Captives. Guthrie writes that he is pleased to hear that John Quincy Adams will serve as counsel for the captives. He comments on the Putnam Female Seminary and expresses his hope to see a revival of anti-slaveryism following the recent election even though the attempt in Ohio "to bring Abolitionists out as a 3rd party...was a great failure." Guthrie then requests that a subscription to Youth's Cabinet be provided to Henry Jenkins, "a remarkable colored boy residing here" in Putnam, Ohio.
