Source Description
H.N. Field writes to William Lloyd Garrison requesting to end his subscription to the Liberator. Field comments that he subscribed to the paper "when it was truly and exclusively an Anti-slavery publication" and he regrets that it now discusses other topics in addition to abolition. He shares his wish that the Liberator will return to being solely about slavery "for the sake of the poor bleeding slave."
