George C. Anderson to Frederick Douglass, February 5, 1861
HAYTIAN EMIGRATION
POTTSVILLE, Pa., Feb. 5, 1861.
Mr. EDITOR:—Will you be kind enough to answer the following questions for my information and others?
1. As our old and well tried friend, are you positively in favor of the emigration of our people to Hayti?
2. Are you fully satisfied with the truthfulness of the representations of the Haytian Government, etc., as set forth by Mr. James Redpath's 'Guide to Hayti?'
3. Do you expect to emigrate there at any time, providing the elevation of our people in the United States progresses at the same ratio that it has for the last, say seven years?
Will you be kind enough to give me a decisive answer upon these points, and I would be happy to have it publicly noticed in your next issue?
Yours,
GEO. C. ANDERSON.
