<html>My dear Brother
I received your letter a week
ago -- the decision which it called upon me
to make involved too much responsibility to admit
of an immediate answer. I have pondered
and prayed over it and have come to the
consclusion that I can promote the great cause
more by staying here than by any other course.
When I came here last summer there was not
a single abolutionist in the [Seminary?] nor in
the immediate region. From the first I have
declared my sentiments in full rebuking the spirit
of slavery in all its forms of expediency, avarice,
cowardice, pride, prejudice, [proscription ?], brutality and
lust. I have rebuked the spirit of Colonization--
its duplicity -- its flattery of sinners, its [...istism?] and
[...tism?] of enormous guilt -- its persecution of the free
Black. It's efforts to gag discussion and muzzle the
Press. Its denunciations against emancipation in [fact?]
are all that makes it what it is. Will you ask what has
[Marginalia]
His influence enegry of character, personal [way?] commanding power as a speaker
moral courage - knowledge of human nature extensive acquaintance in all parts of
the country and wholesome [?] in the [?] all [point?] him out as the man of
all others- appoint him. Put it on his [consciece?] I [?] he [would?] have
shoulder the responsibity
[sp..rring?] it. I know he
is doing a great deal
in New York. I know
his business his famiy
etc. and in [?] of
the whole I say
Put it on his [?]
[?] most
truly your brother
