Source Description
B. R. Downes tells of his own financial difficulties. He says that Bishop Doane has gone bankrupt. B. R. Downes tells of the bigotry of the average citizen of Pennsylvania and especially a boarding house owned by a "family of pious pro slavery bigots." Counterbalanced by those "manifestations of prejudice" are the great workers of the abolitionist cause, namely Lucretia Mott, Henry Clarke Wright, and the Burleighs.
