Boston, 1863, 5 “ x 7 3/4 “ Letter from during the Civil War dated Oct 8, 1863, Letter first describes how the individuals business is doing, then in the second part, highlights the persons disgust in the treatment of slaves and why slavery should be abolished, “I have seen the Iron Ring taken from the slave girls neck. The ring itself is thick as my thumb. It is in two half circles which fasten, probably by padlock. This is the shape. There were four prongs originally. It is neither perfectly round, nor smooth but a rough piece of blacksmithery. If this is not an argument “um ad homineum “ for the conversion of unbelievers, none can be devised for them. They must be willfully blind. “ Sketch of the collar in pencil on reverse side of letter, VF condition ALS.
