Possibly written to Theophilus Parsons Chandler, a correspondent of Sumner's who was active in the Republican Party of Brookline, Massachusetts during the 1850s/1860s. Sumner's first attempt to repeal the Fugitive Slave Law occurred in 1852. At various times through the 1850s and early 1860s, Sumner attempted to move his repeal as an amendment to the appropriation bill (Edward L. Pierce, Memoir and Letters of Charles Sumner Vol. IV, Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1893).
