Cope, Thomas P. (Thomas Pim), 1768-1854. Letterbooks, 1788-1853 [microform].

Title: Letterbooks, 1788-1853 [microform].

The records consist of a microfilm of four volumes of letterbooks containing Cope's outbound correspondence from December 1788 to May 1853. The quantity of letters decreases markedly after 1835, as Cope relinquishes most of the details of business to his sons. Cope kept no diary between 1820 and 1843, and the letters are the primary source on his life and career during this period.

Clarkson, Thomas, 1760-1846. Autograph letter signed : Playford, Suffolk, to [James Cropper], 1832 Oct. 19.

Title: Autograph letter signed : Playford, Suffolk, to [James Cropper], 1832 Oct. 19.

Outlining arguments for and against the American Colonization Society's plan to send freed American slaves to Liberia. He notes that upon hearing that many slave owners agreed to freely give up their slaves to the society with the knowledge that they would be resettled, he was "much struck and delighted," and that he had been told that "by means of the exertions of pious ministers of the gospel and other good men there slavery had become odious even in the slave-holding states themselves. There were hundreds of masters, who then felt the sin of holding their fellow-men in bondage, and were willing to make them free for conscience sake." Asking Cresson whether it might be more economically feasible to settle the freed slaves in the vast U.S. than in Africa, he was told that "The prejudices against these people and against the color of their skin as a badge of slavery, were so great and so deep rooted among the whites, that, if they were to be settled within the Union, they would always be looked upon as a separate, a distinct, and a degraded People ..." He expresses concern that, as a friend warned him, the society's plan is a "scheme for getting rid of all the black people altogether from the soil of their birth."
