Letter from J. Digby, Mystic, Ct, to William Lloyd Garrison, June 17 / [18]49
J. Digby writes: "The public mind is now inflamed from various causes. History & your own knowledge of human nature will inform you that this is a good time for our cause." Digby believes that public sympathy for freedom was awakened by the French Revolution and "you have been transformed very suddenly into an Apostle." Mobs want excitement, like murder, rape, shootings, etc. Digby wants to fight the enemy with free pamphlets, that include "sketches of suffering, that will percolate like water into every place and the fruits will soon be apparent." He will do what he can to write, print, and distribute these pamphlets.
