Brooklyn, [Conn.]
Description
Holograph, signed with initials
George William Benson is expected in Brooklyn. The gallows left at Brighton Street were destroyed by the city authorities. Vigilance committees and lynch clubs have been organized in slave states. Plans for the abduction of Arthur Tappan, George Thompson, and William Lloyd Garrison have been made. Money has been appropriated for this purpose. Garrison holds that death is no calamity, for it will hasten the destruction of slavery. In order to win Southern votes, Whigs and Jacksonians are vying with each other in expressing their hatred of abolitionism
On the bottom of page three of this manuscript, there is a separate note by George William Benson to William Lloyd Garrison about forwarding bundles of mail
