Description: In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, J. U. Parsons expresses his rejoice at the launch of the new organization. He wishes for the success of the organization, which he believes will carry on with the abolitionist cause while respecting some of the religious institutions rejected by Garrison. He says the new organization will be able to incorporate a large proportion of clergy and evangelical church, which have been alienated by the Liberator. He also suggests that the organization adopt a moderate tone to secure the confidence of moderate ministers. He suggests some names of people for the new organization.
