Phelps regarding the town of Littleton becoming "auxiliary to the Mass Anti-Slavery Society & to become auxiliary to the Mass Abolition society-Good! you exclaim. Well, what is better still I obtained $20.00 of them to consititute Bro Cross & his lady life members of the Abolition Society-Thus gaining two important points."
