Notes
"As I view it, our government should, long ago, have conceded belligerent rights to the Cubans struggling for freedom from the yoke of Spain and from the yoke of slavery. ... our government should have united with other governments to put an end to that infernal type of slavery which Spanish power upholds in Cuba, and to the wholesale murders which this power persists in perpetrating there. ... Your society, in its great work of enlightening and directing the public sentiment, will need money to pay printers and lecturers. ... Please hand your treasurer the enclosed draft for a couple of hundred dollars."
