West Mendon, Dec. 3d, 1851.

Dear Sir:—I transmit to you the letter to slaves. It may reach some of them if published. I shall send it to the missionaries. It may bring up some old truth, in a new form, to persons nearer home.

I have been very anxious that the colored people of the North, particularly emigrants like yourself, should bring the case of millions of slaves before Kossuth. If he is a true man, he will sympathize with you and them: if he does not, he will deserve no sympathy for his far lighter sufferings. It must be done by the colored people themselves.

I have also wanted, as efforts are making to induce our Government to intercede in England for the Irish patriots and heroes, O'Brien and others, that you should stir up your English friends to petition the English government to intercede for Fairbanks, Drayton, &c., &c., who are suffering far more unjustly. The effect would be exceedingly good.

Yours,

Geo. W. PerkinsPerkins, George W.
