notes
"Holograph. Oversized manuscript. John Anderson Collins begins this letter by acknowledging his long absence and the reasons why he is not on his way to America: \"...Yet I am confident that if you all could see the precise positions in which I am placed, and all the circumstances connected with our cause in this country, you would unanimously say 'stay another month. ...'\" The letter by John Anderson Collins was written on the verso and margins of a printed circular. The circular consists of letters written in January through February 1841 by the Glasgow abolitionists John Murray, H. Heugh, William Kidston, Joseph Sturge, William Smeal, and Ralph Wardlaw about a variety of issues and controversies, including John Anderson Collins, the American abolitionists, the American Anti-Slavery Society, and the \"woman question,\" etc."
