Letter from American Anti-Slavery Society, Boston, [Massachusetts], to Samuel May, 1845 July 25

1845

In this printed circular by William Lloyd Garrison, writing as President of the American Anti-Slavery Society, to Samuel May, Jr., the Society announces that it has "just met for the purpose of consulting as to the best mode of promoting the cause, during the ensuing six months." The Society reports that it is now "free from embarrassing debt" and stresses the need to support the National Anti-Slavery Standard since "it is our common organ and means of communication with the world, and with each other." The letter discusses the need to increase the circulation of the Standard and mentions new "inducements to offer to the general reader." This includes "a series of articles" being prepared describing "the sojourn of H[enry] G[rafton Chapman] and M[aria] W[eston] Chapman in the Island of Haiti" and an English translation of Gustave de Beaumont's novel "Marie, or Slavery in the United States" which will appear weekly. The letter emphasizes, "We look to you, at this moment, for instant, needed, indispensable aid." At the end of the letter, below Garrison's name, Wendell Phillips and Maria Weston Chapman are listed as secretaries of the Society.
