Excerpt from Slavery in Maryland Briefly ConsideredDear sir, - Your letter which reached me this morn ing, relates to a subject which has, indeed, been much in my mind. Some months ago I began to put on paper a few thoughts concerning it, in the hope that a speedy restoration of our State's financial affairs would leave the Way clear for a fair consideration of Slavery as it exists in Maryland. Your letter seems to come as an intima tion that the time for considering that matter is already at hand - as such I receive it. I will write out what I designed, and send it to you. In doing this the occasion may be taken to refer to some suggestions in your letter, which in the meantime will remain in my thoughts. Your favorable regards I appreciate highly, and thank you for the kind expression of them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
