<mods:abstract>Letter published in the February 14, 1789 issue of the Providence Gazette and Country Journal, written by "A Citizen."  The author, as contemporary readers well knew, was John Brown.  In his letter, addressed to the citizens of the State of Rhode Island, Brown denounces the newly established Providence Abolition Society as an evil "combination" of religious fanatics bent on ruining him and the whole economy of the state.</mods:abstract>
