Content and context

De Warville received Clarkson's undated letter (the third he has received) three or four days ago and will appreciate any assistance Clarkson can give to the Societe, the sooner the better since publications are proceeding briskly. Brissot's friend in New York, Myers [?John], tells him that a considerable number of friends have applied to Congress for the abolition of slavery in the United States. M. Oge (1) will be in London in eight or ten days, having sent a friend on in advance. The progress of reform in the House of Commons affects the morale of abolitionists in the National Assembly. They are much distracted by the destruction of the settlement in Sierra Leone (2), and ask for an account of that to be established there by Woodhouse. They have been honoured by visits from Messrs. [?Strand] and [?Nordenschfold]. (1) Vincent Oge, a mulatto of St Dominique, subsequently executed for revolt (Clarkson Biography, pp. 63-4). (2) Granville Sharp's settlement (See Clarkson Biography, pp. 63-4).
