Scope and content
Mr. Godwin states that he is interested in promoting the anti-slavery cause through a series of lectures. States that the best course of action is for Parliament to set a date for abolition and to make arrangements for that date to be met. Hopes Clarkson can help him either with written information or by sending recent publications. Maude introduces Godwin to Clarkson and states he is of good conscientious character and has been working hard to promote the anti slavery cause in Yorkshire which is growing stronger, especially amongst women.
