Sturge, Esther
Description
Holograph, signedEsther Sturge laments that John Quincy Adams disclaims being an abolitionist, but she thinks that any act on behalf of the slave will advance the anti-slavery cause. She is glad to hear that Charles L. Remond is so useful. She asks if John A. Collins deserted the cause. Esther Sturge does not wholly agree with Joseph Sturge. Esther Sturge writes: "I am sorry to see in a Letter of T. Clarkson's he attributes the idea of setting the slaves in [the] West Indies free to William Allen ere the term of Apprenticeship & expired." She says that Zachary Macauley was the real emancipator. William Allen opposed immediate emancipation
