Thanks Booth for sending him M. Cochin's book on emancipation and for her own work to bring its important information before the "American mind. " States his own views on slavery and reasons why it is so hard to make progress towards emancipation. Fears the message of the Governor, entitled "God save us from our friends, " will do anti-slavery supporters much harm.
