Massie, Isabella

Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Isabella Massie writes to John Bishop Estlin thanking him for his encouragements and for the books he sent. She writes about her views on slavery and religion within the cause. She writes, "i feel greatly your debtor for the Liberty Bell and the two other Pamphlets which I shall carefully read. I believe the Battle of Slavery will be fought in the other side the Atlantic but it is delightful to think that the men we admire as abolitionists are pacific within principles." She writes that she has "always thought that the common newspaper are incomparably the best mediums for circulating Antislavery intelligence inasmuch as every Creature from the Court to the Cottage leads them" and suggests trying to create public opinion through distribution of antislavery newspapers.
