Summary

Benjamin Rush Plumly writes William Lloyd Garrison to make payment for his subscription to the "Liberator". Plumly informs Garrison that they are conducting weekly anti-slavery meetings, and states that they are "well attended and grow quite spirited". Plumly offers an account of their December meeting, and states that the Executive Committee members have "prepared & published" a "disunion petition", which they plan to issue to "every member of Congress & of our State Legislature".
