Benjamin Lundy letter to daughter

Almost a quarter of the letter has been torn off or removed, and much of the text is illegible.

Benjamin Lundy letter to Lydia S. Wierman, May 29, 1831
No full textLetter from Philadelphia-based abolitionist Benjamin Lundy to his married sister, Lydia S. Wierman of York Springs, Pennsylvania. Lundy describes his recent and upcoming travels in the Mid-Atlantic region -- including plans to visit Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey -- and plans for the care and maintenance of his popular abolitionist periodical, "The Genius of Universal Emancipation," during his absence. Lundy details visits with family, and seeks to arrange plans for a family member named Susan (likely Lundy's daughter, later Susan Wierman of Illinois) to board with Lydia, as her other living arrangements have fallen through. Lundy also includes a colorful description of an overheard account of the treatment of slave women in Maryland, which he hopes to include in a forthcoming issue of The Genius in order to "nauseat some stomachs!" Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals. His Genius of Universal Emancipation was first published in 1821 from his home in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and enjoyed a wide circulation across the antebellum United States.

Benjamin Lundy letter to Paxton Vickers, May 9, 1839
No full textLetter from Benjamin Lundy to Paxton Vickers, describing land acquisition efforts in Illinois. Lundy, in part, describes his own circuitous journey to obtaining land holdings in Illinois due to an absentee land registrar; he also describes some timber holdings he has come into recently, and asks for Vickers' and his father's help in paying for these titles by offering part of the lands to the family. Like Lundy's other Illinois letters, this correspondence contains illustrative details about the life of land speculators in the Illinois territory early in its history. Lundy's note praises the rivers and landscape of his new landholdings, and also, to a lesser extent, describes the recent flocking of many Pennsylvania Quakers to Illinois in the 1830s.
