LETTER FROM MISS REMOND.
SALEM, Mass Sept. Is, 1858.
DEAR FRIEND: Your letter dated August 18th,
was received. 1t reached my home while l was
absent attending an anti slavery convention at
Cape Cod. in the town of Harwicb, in company
vita Parker Pillshury. Mr.. Foss. and my brother.
Our meetings. eight in number, were we'll attend.
ed. On Sunday, although we had a large hall
many we're Obliged to go away, unable to obtain
e~n,erance I never looked upon a more closely
packed audience. We endeavored to speak the
words of truth to them. and l am sure the meeting
vas a very successful one. ! received last week a
short but pleasan. call from Mr.. Garrison aud on
English gentleman, Mr.. Robson, who has been
travelling in America. Mr.. Robson seems to IN.

Il 10 true, the traffic in slaves has always been
carried on under our flag. but now there will be an
sttempt made to throw around this Infamous crime
