A letter reporting that Bancroft Fowler has received news of the Amistad Case from an American & Foreign Anti-slavery Reporter. He rejoices "to find [him] engaged in so good a cause as that of endeavoring to prevent the reduction to slavery of those who have an undoubted right to freedom, & to break the bonds of those who are unrighteous held in the most cruel servitude." Fowler recalls last meeting Lewis Tappan in Boston when Tappan was a Unitarian and is glad "that you have been led...by the Spirit of God, to renounce those dangerous sentiments." Fowler sends money in support of the Amistad Captives and wishes he could send more, but his "pecuniary circumstances" are more limited than before, however, he may send more in the future.
