Thomas Clarkson letter to Henry Clarke Wright, approximately 1846
Manuscripts
An autobiographical autograph letter written by Thomas Clarkson to "Dear Sir;" the letter is entitled "Extraordinary Phenomenon in the Origin of the Abolition of the Slave Trade as it relates to myself." Though the letter is addressed to "Dear Sir" there is strong evidence it was written to Henry Clarke Wright, American abolitionist. The letter recounts Clarkson's sixty year's crusade against enslavement: his efforts to end the trade of enslaved persons in Great Britain, the foundation of The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, and his work with William Wilberforce. The letter is mounted on paper, with some slight staining and a crossed-out pencil profile portrait on recto of the blank leaf; also enclosed is a typewritten transcription of the letter.
