"_Clapham, August 25th_, 1853.
"My dear Sir:--
"Your determination to spend some time in Great Britain, and to employ
yourself, as opportunities occur, in giving lectures and delivering
addresses upon American topics, including the social position of the
free colored population--for which your education and personal
experience eminently fit you--has given me sincere pleasure. I trust you
will meet with ample encouragement from the friends of Abolition
throughout the United Kingdom, to whose sympathy and kindness I would
earnestly recommend you, and still more your heroic and most estimable
lady.
"Believe me, most truly yours,
"Professor W. G. Allen "GEORGE THOMPSON."

empty barrel spiked with shingle nails, together with the reasons which
induced that mob, I propose to give it.
