Letter from H.N. Field, Abington, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1838 Jan[uar]y 11th
Description:
H.N. Field writes to William Lloyd Garrison requesting to end his subscription to the Liberator.

He shares his wish that the Liberator will return to being solely about slavery "for the sake of the poor bleeding slave."
