Title devised by cataloger
On verso, the delivery address is "Rev. Amos A. Phelps, Boston, Mas." It was postmarked with an orange circular stamp that reads "Salem Mas. Mar 30."
Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) manuscript composed in black ink on white paper. Above the salutation, the number "66" is written in pencil, while in the head- fore corner, the phrase "attack in Lib" is also written in pencil
Charles Turner Torrey writes to Amos A. Phelps concerning a vote at his church "about sending the concert money to N. York." He then discusses the recent meeting of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society and says that while "Garrison proclaims 'the question settled' but it can't stay settled and we must be prepared for 'war.'" He proposes writing a pamphlet explaining "at length the causes of alienation and strife" and asks Phelps if he would write it. Torrey also discusses being "the object of attack in the Lyingberator [Liberator], from week to week without the power of reply" but tells Phelps that if they "keep cool, we can fight the harder by & bye."
