Description

Holograph, signedTitle devised by catalogerOn verso, the delivery address is "Rev. Amos A. Phelps, Boston, Mass." It was postmarked on Feb. 26 in "Northboro, Mass."Daniel Hopkins Emerson writes to Amos A. Phelps that he could not attend his society meeting himself, and that the general attendance was low due to the disappointing lectures from Boston. In regards to the new paper, Emerson says he is in favor of it. He states, however, that he was disappointed in the prospects and the principles of the Massachusetts Abolitionist, which Phelps enclosed, because what was described was not a paper about abolition alone. In particular, he criticizes the papeŕs attack on colonization, saying that colonization and abolition are separate matters
