George W. Goines to Frederick Douglass, August 5, 1848

1

Philadelphia, Aug. 5, 1848.

Esteemed Friends.—I should take this occasion to give you some account of the spirited Anti-Slavery meetings that we have had for a few days past, but I am aware that ere this you have those proceedings by a more able pen. But suffice it to say, that we have had several very exciting and interesting meetings, and have at present a very good feeling among our people in this city; and were that feeling kept up, we might in all probability obtain a goodly number of subscribers for your invaluable paper. I was delighted to see by your last number, that Mr. M. R. Delany intended making us a visit in September, for the purpose of obtaining subscribers. I may be mistaken, but I am under the impression that two hundred subscribers can be obtained in this city and county by a little vigilance. It will require a man that is persevering, and one that stands pretty fair or popular in this community—very different from Jas. McCrummell.
