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. In the 1820s, the young William Lloyd Garrison came to work for The Genius. Benjamin Lundy traveled widely seeking subscriptions to The Genius, giving talks about the anti-slavery movement, and observing and documenting the conditions of enslaved people across the Americas. He was also involved in the establishment of freed slave colonies in Mexico

Lydia S. Wierman letter to Thomas Earl
No full textLetter from Lydia S. Wierman to Thomas Earl of Philadelphia, care of George Forman. Wierman's letter has been truncated somewhat -- here, we have only pages 4 and 5 of what presumably is a longer letter. Weirman speaks eloquently and passionately about the life and work of her brother, abolitionist Benjamin Lundy. Page 4 of the letter opens in the midst of recounting a story by which someone crawls to safety in a wintry woods. The letter continues in a consideration of Lundy's tremendous life's work in abolitionism from Wierman's perspective.
