Sturge, Esther
Description
Holograph, signed.Esther Sturge comments on the charge that John Quincy Adams is not an abolitionist. Sturge believes that "he is evidently a friend to freedom." She criticizes William Lloyd Garrison for his involvement in such a large number of causes. Sturge writes to Maria Weston Chapman: "Unity of purpose will always carry a point even if there are a variety of shades, & I would not rebuke any who are not entirely with you, less I should make them my enemies, ..." Sturge quotes Thomas Clarkson's praise of Zachary Macaulay.
