Description
A letter from Ellis Gray Loring thanking Lewis Tappan for sending minutes of legal proceedings in Hartford and stating he has authorization from his board [possibly the New England Anti-Slavery Society] to send Robert Rantoul Jr. to speak with President Martin Van Buren regarding the Amistad Captives. He suggests that Tappan write to "the British member of the mixed commission" in Cuba to seek input on Spanish law. Loring also seeks to help find an interpreter for the Amistad Captives.
