Resolutions extracted from the minutes of the last annual meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society from American Anti-Slavery Society
Description:
This printed resolutions extracted from the minutes of the annual meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society, dated May 28, 1834, states that the Society recommends that 1) all its auxiliaries hold public meetings on each July 4th, that 2) this resolution be publicized, and that 3) funds be raised in the current year to the amount of at least $20,000. Below this, a circular letter reiterates the same content. Phelps signed the resolutions as the author; John Rankin, Lewis Tappan, and E. Wright Jr. signed the circular as the authors. At the bottom of the circular letter, a handwritten list assigns a certain dollar amount to each of the ten American States listed. On the blank page of this circular, Elizur Wright Jr. writes to Amos A. Phelps about 50 copies of the Anti-Slavery Report that he is sending to Phelps, as well as the health of “Bro. Dickinson.”
