A Very Good copy. *** Emerson's scathing condemnation of the American Slave Trade and institution. In keeping with his social views emphasizing the advance of human progress, Emerson locates his discussion of race slavery within the "history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain in truth and right." With language that is by turns ironic and incensed, he discusses features of slavery -deprivation, disenfranchisement, ruin of families - that contradict such a social advance. Emerson enumerates the horrors of slavery and writes "the blood is anti-slavery: it runs cold in the veins: the stomach rises with disgust, and curses slavery." Progress, he argues, arrives through witness reports of these sights and ensuing political action. ***.

Rebecca Duncan (1826-1908) was a school teacher for fifty years; she participated in several reform movements - her anti-slavery activities brought her in contact with Emerson, Whittier, and Theodore Parker. Her sister married Elbridge Gerry Dudley, also reform minded, who was an assistant to Theodore Parker in the last several years of his life. Dudley worked with Emerson on setting up lecture engagements for "The Parker Fraternity" at the Boston Music Hall. Miss Duncan briefly wrote a column in the 1890's called "Theodore Parker's Bettina" in the Boston "Evening Transcript". She was intimate with Laura Bridgman, blind and deaf, who became world famous for the education she received in the 1840's under Samuel Gridley Howe at the Perkins Institution for the Blind, forty years before Helen Keller.

Dated "Concord, Mass 14 July 1859". A four page letter on one folded 10 x 8 sheet, with the mailing envelope. Emerson apologizes for having to cancel his reservation at Luther and Mary Houghton's resort in South Waterford, Maine. He is convalescing from a sprained ankle incurred while coming down from Mt. Wachusett in Princeton with a nephew. He asks to be released from his lease, and offers $10 to cover any expenses already incurred. He explains the disappointment of his family, especially his children, "by this bad turn overtaking and overturning our plan, and think we shall yet come to Waterford if only for a visit" (Mary Moody Emerson, Emerson's aunt, lived in South Waterford). Not in the Rusk/Tilton ten volume Emerson "Letters." and apparently not recorded elsewhere. A Fine letter, just an inch separation at the bottom of the fold. The envelope roughly opened, taking one corner of the 3 cent stamp, with an "E" wax seal.

George Bradford was in Europe, partially financed by Emerson. His present from Miss Russell was $100 (James W. Mathews, "G.P. Bradford, Friend of Transcendentalists" in Studies in the American Renaissance, 1981, edited by Joel Myerson p.150). Ellen Emerson made a copy of this letter but the location of the original manuscript was unknown (Tilton, v.8 p. 428, of the Emerson Letters., 1991). In Fine condition.
