". . . I send with this, being an abolitionist, The Liberator on Texas, which I hope, if you sh'd dislike it, you'll read for the sake of this, & for my sake. . . ."
Phillips (1811-1884) was a lawyer and reformer, whose radical Abolitionism drove him at one point to encourage the North's secession, and who later argued for the fair treatment of Native Americans.
