The president of the Philadelphia Society for the Abolition of Slavery and the relief of free Negroes unlawfully held in Bondage communicated to us an Extract from your Letter to him respecting the Abolition of the Slave trade. We rejoice in finding a Gentleman of your Character and Influence disposed to aid us in the work in which we are engaged. We conceive no better method of effecting this can be adopted than by instituting Societies in your Country similar to ours, and by circulating Publications calculated to expose the inequity of the Slave trade, throughout every part of the extensive Dominions of the King of France.

We request your acceptance of the enclosed Copies of the Constitution of our Society and of the Laws that are now in force in Pennsylvania for abolishing negro Slavery. Signed per order of the Society
