Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.George Thompson writes to Henry Clarke Wright in regards to a recent letter he received from him and his grattitude and affection for sending it. He writes that all his "views, principles, plans & purposes...have been founded by the word of God, and like that word, consistent with the peace, safety, and salvation alike, of the oppressor and oppressed." He disapproves of the "doings of those who boast their attachment to 'the union,' 'the Constitution,' the good and glory of the nation...I see them violating every wholesome law." He says that America is hostile to foreigners like himself who "bring the truth, and in the spirit of the Gospel cry aloud against the sinking sins of the people." He believes that the abolitionists will triumph. In a postscript he thanks him for his thanksgiving invitation but uncertain he will attend. He also inquires into some Richmond, Virginia newspapers.
