Title:
Letter from Abraham Lidden Cox, New York, [New York], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1833 Dec[ember] 19
Description:
Abraham Lidden Cox writes to William Lloyd Garrison sending him back Garrison's letters to George Thompson and Charles Stuart, "in consequence of a mistake of my own in copying the resolutions of the Ex[ecutive] Committee [of the American Anti-Slavery Society] when I wrote to inform you of it" [See Cox's letter to Garrison of December 12, 1833]. Cox explains that he "omitted the words 'at their own charge'" by accident and that the "subject is so delicate that it is almost impossible to treat it with honesty & good faith on the one hand, without violating a proper sense of politeness on the other." He says that the board met the previous night to discuss compensation for the Society's agents and declares that "our prospects are improving hourly."
