Letter from Theodore Parker, Worcester, [Massachusetts], to Thomas Wentworth Higginson, 1858 May 18
Description:
Thomas Wentworth Higginson writes to Theodore Parker regarding anti-slavery arguments. He writes in regards to "Dr. H" agreeing with him about "H.F. & the policy to be pushed." He writes that postponement is abandonment because "F can do as much harm next year on this." He poses whether to act before or after the "betrayal." He writes, "The more I think of it, the more amazed I am, at the view which you & the two S's have taken." He says if he had the means, he would buy out the other stockholders "& take our veteran to go on."
