notes
"Holograph, signed. Having been asked to contribute to the Liberty Bell, G. R. Russell asserts that there is no lack of subject matter. He especially points out that the horrors of the slave trade rouse indignation, but \"we have no hard words & no unkind thoughts when our neighbor is the slave trader.\" The reason why G. R. Russell has not responded is that he believes there are many abler writers than himself, and he encloses instead a sum to be used toward the publication."
