Jonathan Wright Plummer was a Quaker minister who founded the Friends' Union for Philanthropic Labor. He has received a circular from Anna Jackson and, in reply, discusses the treatment of the "colored people" in the state of Illinois. He says they are "treated as kindly and justly in all ways as any other race" and "seem industrious, and prosperous in their lines of work." He does, however, note that he has heard of ill treatment in other parts of the state. He will send her circular to the Chicago Friends Meeting for their consideration.
