Frederick Douglass Papers

page_0001

For Frederick Douglass' Paper.

SALLIE HOLLEY IN CONNECTICUT.

BROTHER DOUGLASS:—Miss Holley has given
us several thrilling lectures. The mantle of her
liberty-loving father has evidently fallen upon
her. One "Lord's Day," P. M., she preached
the Gospel to 60 or 70 in the Congregational
House of Worship, when the deep snow caused
many meeting houses to be closed. Her ad-
dresses were filled with the great fundamental
truths of Freedom. She expressed them with
the deep eloquence of the heart. She reaches
the heart. She presents the common ground
(mainly) on which all true anti-slavery souls
may meet. Miss Putnam accompanies her,
visits families, and distributes tracts. I am
happy to notice that she plentifully scatters the
appeal of the North Congregational Church of
Hartford, to the American Tract Society. If
we work to help the Abolition cause, we must
give the hand of fellowship to all who hate
Slavery—if we differ from them in our mode of
expression and action.

Yours,

J. R. J.
