Scope and content
Headed by a declaration from a meeting held on 23 December 1825 of the Southampton Anti-Slavery Society, resolving that the following speech would be used in the Southampton area as a way of publicising the Society's views. Sent as an autographed letter from Edward Park, to Clarkson, dated 11 October 1845, from Southampton as a reminder of what was achieved by 'our early exertions in the cause of suffering humanity.' Ends, 'with sincere desire that your latter end may be peace found in the justifying righteousness of a crucified redeemer'.
