accountMoses Brown wrote in a 1783 letter to Providence merchants John Clark and Joseph Nightingale that the memory of the slave ship Sally weighed heavy on his conscience and that he urged them not to send a ship to Africa, stating that if the Sally had never sailed, he would have been preserved from an evil that left the greatest stain upon his mind.
