- Description:
- Letter written on British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society letterhead: dated February 15, 1855, "Dear Madam," signed "L. A. Chamerovzow," regarding the publications Slave Life in Georgia, and the Anti-Slavery Reporter. Chamerovzow mentions several influential British anti-slavery leaders and alludes to the policy of emancipation in South Africa. Louis Alexis Chamerovzow, Secretary of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, transformed the memoirs of John Brown (known as Fed or Benford), a formerly enslaved man who fled to England, into a powerful anti-slavery publication, Slave Life in Georgia (London, 1855).
