Letter from Lewis Tappan, New York, to Amos Augustus Phelps, 1846 December 2
In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, Lewis Tappan says Professor Whipple has been appointed as Corresponding Secretary of the American Missionary Association. He then talks about the progress being made in the new paper in Washington, and the “Reporter,” whish is no longer being printed since Phelps's departure. He informs Phelps that Dr. Armstrong has been lost at sea with some 30 others. On another page of the same sheet of paper, a printed letter marked “[Not to be published]” states that the Executive Committee of the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society decided to establish a weekly antislavery newspaper in Washington, D.C. in the following year. The letter discusses further details about the paper.
