DCXVI. — To Mr. Thomas Funnell.
MY DEAR BROTHER, November 24, 1787.
WHATEVER assistance I can give those generous men who join to oppose that execrable trade, I certainly shall give. I have printed a large edition of the “Thoughts on Slavery,” and dispersed them to every part of England. But there will be vehement opposition made, both by slave-merchants and slave-holders; and they are mighty men: But our comfort is, He that dwelleth on high is mightier.
I am
Your affectionate brother.
