I am much pleased, writes James Forten (Ms., March 21, 1831) from Philadelphia, to see how all the people of color, subscribers to the Libcrator, speak in praise of it.

Arnold Buffum had his plan Ms. Nov. 18, Dec. 13, 1834. of making Mr. Garrison the corresponding secretary of the New England Anti-Slavery Society, and the salaried editor of the Liberator, adopted as its organ. Elizur Wright, Jr., with much warm-heartedness and practical Ms. Nov. 12, 1834, to W. L.
