I think the tract had better come out to the public under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Society for promoting the Abolition of Slavery, the relief of free negroes unlawfully held in bondage, and for improving the Condition of the African Race. Agreeably to your request, I select three members of that Society to decide upon the merits of the various tracts that may be presented—namely, the venerable William Rawle, Ll. D., President, and Jonas Preston, M. D., and Thomas Shipley, Vice-Presidents of said Society—all thorough-going reformers and highly intelligent and respectable men, residents of Philadelphia. The premiummoney may be deposited in the hands of the President, Wm. Rawle. I am now on an Eastern tour for the purpose of delivering public addresses on the subject of slavery, of obtaining subscriptions to my proposed new paper at Washington City, of establishing a National Anti-Slavery Tract Society, &c., &c.
