Gerrit Smith to Frederick Douglass, January 21, 1853
THE WHITE SLAVE; OR, MEMOIRS OF A FU-
GITIVE, is for sale at this office.
PETERBORO, Jan. 21, 1853.
DEAR DOUGLASS :—I have just read "The
White Slave," written by Richard Hildreth
of Boston. Mr. Hildreth is one of the ablest
writers of our country.
I am very much pleased with this Book.
If not as highly dramatic and entertaining
as "Uncle Tom's Cabin," it is, perhaps, even
more philosophical and instructive. Both
Books should be in every family.
Yours, &c.,
GERRIT SMITH.
