Description: In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, Lewis Tappan criticizes several anti-slavery men for being ́willing to do anythinǵ for what they falsely believe is right, and praises St. Clair and Torrey. He says some people inclined to be friendly toward the new national society seem to be holding off, fearing that the society would not last. He says they will "set them right."
