註釋Writing to prepare Howe for a visit by Sam Houston, Sumner encourages Howe to introduce Houston to "anti-slavery out-spoken men" - "let him be impressed by the determination of our friends & the strength of their convictions." Alluding to the continuing crisis over enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law, Sumner rejoices "in the stigma affixed upon slave hunting by the Overseers of H.C. [Harvard College]... The legislature cannot complete the work." Sumner refers to his speech in Faneuil Hall against the law in 1850, vows to work to render the law inoperable and ends by saying "I mean to turn the screw on tight as I can, when my turn comes to lecture."
