Excerpt from A Voice From the Prison: Being Articles Addressed to the Editor of the New-Bedford Mercury, and a Letter to G. B. Weston, Esq., And Other Directors of the Duxbury Bank
Pr is my lot to be committed to Jail, for debt. I am ofiéred a release from this extremity, by laying myself under obligations to my friends, which I may not soon be able to repay - though if I should appeal to their sympathies, they would gladly advance me three fold the sum' required. I shall employ the leisure my position allows me, in preparing a memorial to the Legislature, which, I hope, will have some influence in expunging from ther Statute Book, the law which allows the incarceration of a man for no other crime than being poor.
