Iota to Frederick Douglass, February 27, 1852

Renewal of Anti-Slavery Organizations.

Brother Douglass:—There is a growing demand that our anti-slavery organizations should be renewed.

We need some common platform upon which all sincere opposers of slavery may unite, and in some degree concentrate their strength.

The Liberty Party is worthy of all commendation for keeping so good a school as it has kept for years past. That party ought not to be disbanded in the present state of affairs.

Yet, apart from that, we do need a liberal arrangement for the correspondence of the friends of freedom, that we may reach and recognise all the various classes of the honest anti-slavery persons.

These suggestions are made with special reference to the Rochester Convention, March 18th and 19th. Perhaps we may then first open some plan for accomplishing this desirable object.

Yours truly,

Iota
