1834

George Thompson writes to George William Benson in regards to thanking the "friends in R.I." for a gracious welcome to Providence. He praises the Providence anti-slavery society for their noble engagements in the cause. He wishes he could visit R.I. but he won't be able to until "the time mentioned for your Annual meeting." He writes that he "will be with you, and shall be happy to confer with the Committee in reference to the best means of awakening the citizens of your state to the true merits of the question & their own duty and responsibility in relation thereto." He attended and delivered several addresses at a County Convention in Groten, Mass[achusetts] which lasted two days. He also delivered a lecture in Lowell, Massachusetts. He hopes he will be able to attend the Convention in Maine the following week. He is currently staying with William Lloyd Garrison.

George Thompson writes to George William Benson in regards to postponing his speeches in New York and Providence due to his wife's confinement and other assignments. He has given lectures in Boston, in particular "in the Hall adjoining the AntiSlavery Rooms. It was crowded to suffocation and more were obliged to depart without hearing than could obtain admission." He plans to lecture again in Boston in a few weeks. He hopes to spend a sabbath with Benson as soon as possible.

Letter from George William Benson and Henry Egbert Benson, Providence, [Rhode Island], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1833 [March] 5th

1833

In this letter to William Lloyd Garrison, George William Benson says that while he was "cheered by the delightful intelligence that a high school for young colored misses was to be established in Canterbury, (Conn.)," the project has raised the "unholy prejudices of the people ... to such a dregree, that they were fully determined, if possible, to prevent the school from going into operation." Benson describes how he traveled to Canterbury and met with Prudence Crandall, the "truly benevolent young Lady, who has so nobly esposed the cause of suffering humanity," and he lists the objections of prominent townspeople to the creation of the school. Benson argues "friends of the cause" will help establish and support the school, "relying upon the Constitution of our nominally free country, and firmly believing that our colored brethren are entitled to all the priviliges that we ourselves enjoy."

1844

George William Benson writes to Samuel May "respecting Mr. Olcott & Abby." Benson says that "if they determine to come here" he thinks that their "application would be favourably [sic] considered" by the association (probably the Northampton Association of Education and Industry). He adds that he does "not think they could be accommodated till some time in the spring," but they are "making arrangements to extend our business and commence building the coming season." On verso, after his autograph, Benson continues and shares his "wish our sis Abba could come up here for a few days and see things as they are and promise to be &c &c ..."

Letter from George William Benson, Providence, [Rhode Island], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1833 [March] 19th

1833

George William Benson writes to William Lloyd Garrison informing him that he has "nothing new to communicate respecting the Canterbury affair" but he plans to travel there with Rev. Thomas Williams later in the week. He describes a letter he wrote to Simeon Smith Jocelyn advising him "to engage counsel, and authorise them to commence an action, in behalf of the parents of any pupil" prevented from attending the school. He describes this as "a glorious opportunity" to test state laws which sought to restrict educating African-Americans but he believes that after the school opens "in a few weeks, there [sic] prejudices will vanish and they will be ashamed of their own folly." Benson also discusses his efforts to "establish a regular Church & society among the colored people" in Providence, telling Garrison that Thomas Willimas has "offered to preach for them a year, and longer if they wish". He also tells Garrison he has been trying to raise money to support Garrison on his trip to Europe and has promised people that he will "deliver a farewell address to them as you passed through this place to New York." Benson reports that after hearing this news, "I think I never beheld so much unfeigned pleasure as it gave them."

[Charles] Stuart" as well. He then gives him the name of new subscriber to the Liberator and reminds Garrison to send him a number of different pamphlets when they are published.

Letter from George William Benson, Providence, [Rhode Island], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1834 [June] 26th

1834

George William Benson writes to William Lloyd Garrison with "great pleasure" after learning that Garrison will "lecture in Pawtucket [Rhode Island] on the evening of the 4th of July." Benson lists some of the speakers who have agreed to lecture in Providence on that date and promises "we shall make every effort to assemble an audience befitting the occassion." He comments that "prospect is encouraging" since a local minister, Pharcellus Church, recently changed his position "and preached all day last Sabbath to his congregation on the sinfulness of prejudice, and slavery, and their duty to the oppressed." Benson then gives Garrison a schedule of the meetings, telling him "we shall depend on you being at our evening meeting and offering a resolution" or seconding one proposed by Mr. Perry, which Benson then lists. He suggests Garrison include his remarks his "exposition of the 58th chapter of Isiah" and then shares his hope that Isaac Knapp will soon recover from ill health. Benson also recommends Garrison spend a few days in Providence and "visit individuals as it is important some should see and become acquainted with you."
