"Holograph, signed. James Haughton compares American anti-slavery with trans-Atlantic anti-slavery: \"We who work with you at this side [of] the water, have no such opposition to encounter; every blow we strike against the monster--Slavery--brings us honor & credit, with the people.\" He admits that some of the so-called better classes \"look upon us as enthusiasts, & I am even considered by some a little light in the head.\" In Ireland, \"we have to work upon apathetic & indifferent hearts,\" and so their zeal would probably cool if it were not \"warmed by your devotion to the cause of humanity.\""
