One letter from Frederick Douglass to Alf Jameson dated February 9, 1885. In the letter, Douglass responds to a query about the role of the Society of Friends in the abolition movement. He writes, "The Society of Friends, was opposed to cooperating with the Abolition Movement and to that extent made themselves liable to be called proslavery. Individual members of the Society however, were among the most devoted and self sacrificing members of outside Antislavery Societies." He further mentions that the annual meeting of the Society of Friends in Richmond Indiana invited Henry Clay to occupy it's high seats. This meeting took place in 1842. A note on the back of the letter notes that it was sent to Alf Jameson, Nora's Father.
