Letter from William Wilberforce to Thomas Pringle, May 9, 1832



Writing late in life (he was to die in 1833) to the Secretary of the Anti-Slavery Society, Wilberforce endorses the Society’s activities and encourages them to appoint stalwart “enemies to the Slave trade & Slavery” as their leaders. He also welcomes the launch of a new abolitionist journal, but worries that the public is wearying of the subject.
