Amos A. Phelps writes to Francis Jackson to resign from his position as a member of the Board of Managers of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society and as the recording secretary of the same.

Copy of letter from Amos Augustus Phelps, Boston, to William Cogswell and Masachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. Board Members, May 29. 1838

1 pp 1838

On the first of a series of letters, Amos A. Phelps writes to the Board of Managers of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society regarding his previous communication about the possibility of his leaving the agency at the end of the year. He says he is willing to stay another year if the Board wishes. A note under the letter states that the Board re-appointed Phelps for one year. After a brief text about the case of Antigua being “a practical illustration of the truth of the doctrine that it is always wise and safe to do right,” a copy of letter from Phelps to William Cogswell (written on the same day as the first one) says that the writer is enclosing a resolution to be offered at the upcoming Anti-Slavery convention, and that he would like the recipient either to second the resolution or to offer it at the meeting. Cogswell replies that he intends to leave the city before the convention.
