Letter from Isaac Stearns, Mansfield, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1838 Jan[uary] 5th
Isaac Stearns writes to William Lloyd Garrison sending him a copy of his pamphlet "Right and Wrong in Mansfield," about the riot which took place in the town in 1836. He says the pamphlet has sold well and has "created a tremendous excitement among the mobocratic party, and 'gentlemen of property and standing,' who have been suspected of countenancing the mob." Stearns tells Garrison that "it remains to be seen whether the liberty of the press can be maintained in Mansfield" as he has been "threatened, for publishing the book, to be whipped." Stearns adds that he saw Henry Clarke Wright in Pawtucket and that Wright's "principles & those of your paper [the Liberator] meet my approbation."
