Title:
Letter from Elizur Wright, Anti-Slavery Office, New York, [New York], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1834 Jan[uary] 30
Description:
Elizur Wright, Jr. writes to William Lloyd Garrison after receiving a letter from Garrison with "a bundle of Mr. Phelps' most acceptable lectures." Wright then discusses the financial troubles of the American Colonization Society and declares, "My dear friend, The victory is ours!" He explains that, "The Colonization Society is found to be bankrupt in funds, as well as in moral principle" but tells Garrison that abolitionists should "maintain the attitude of noble hearted victors." In the postscript, Wright comments that he is "at a loss for the price of Phelps' lectures."
