John Jay writes to the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society with his regrets that he will be unable to attend the 30th anniversary celebration in Philadelphia. Jay offers a lengthy analysis of the history and present state of popular perception of the American abolitionist movement, and of the use of African-American soldiers in the Union Army. Jay notes that his views depart from the typical popular interpretation of American abolitionists as "disunionish".
