Washington, May 19, 1850.
MY DEAR SIR, I am writing an answer to the Newburyport gentlemen, in
which I shall state, fully and legally, the matter of the Fugitive Slave Bill.
It will be visible in Boston in the course of this week, and I should be glad
the newspapers would publish it, as many of them as choose.
We notice a good article on Mr. Mann and his letter, in the Courier of
the 7th. Notice will be taken of Mr. Mann by gentlemen here of whom he speaks
in his letter, but not by me. I may say one word of him, in my answer to the
Newburyport letter.
I am glad you are going to Andover to see Mr. Stuart. Pray give him my
warm regards. I am anxiously looking for his pamphlet.
