Source Description
Joseph Phillips writes to William Lloyd Garrison discussing Charles Stuart's plan to leave England in three weeks. Phillips notes Stuart will be a "valuable acquisition in forming your fundamentals in your anticipated National Anti-Slavery Society." He also tells Garrison that the editor of the Patriot refused to publish his letters due to its length and their wish to avoid "a long and unprofitable discussion" by publishing Garrison's letter along with the opposing view presented by Elliott Cresson. Phillips promises to "keep a watchful eye over E[lliott] C[resson] and any thing that may be published with the aid of your friends in London." He describes his attempts to oppose the efforts of Cresson as he travels around England and asks Garrison to send him the Liberator, saying "in your absence that will be the best substitute." He then shares his "fear [that] Cresson will not leave England so las as he can get money," and he sends his regards to Arhtur Tappan, Arnold Buffum, Isaac Knapp, and Thomas Williams.
