Our sympathy has been afresh excited on your behalf, in having to witness the continued and cruel oppression of the African race, and we earnestly, dear friends, desire your encouragement, and that under the guidance of best wisdom, your hands may be strengthened in using every exertion within your reach, for ameliorating the condition of this injured part of the human family'.
