Directed to "Gentlemen." Agrees to deliver a lecture on slavery during the upcoming winter, noting, "I shall fail to say anything possessing either novelty or merit upon a topic which has been more profoundly and carefully discussed in Boston than in any other part of the Country." Will speak December 20. Includes an incomplete newspaper clipping attached to verso. The clipping contains Horace Greeley's praise of Raymond (Raymond initially served as Greeley's assistant, before starting the Times).
