The letter is addressed to J B Sanderson. It mentions important abolitionist men of the Western New York region including Frederick Douglass and James Caleb Jackson. Jeremiah Burke Sanderson (August 10, 1821 August 19, 1875) was an American abolitionist, and advocate for the civil and educational rights of black citizens in the United States. Growing up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Sanderson in his early life was surrounded by the work of notable abolitionists, including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, William Lloyd Garrison, and William Nell. These influences, combined with his studies of literature, philosophy, and history enabled him to become an eloquent spokesperson for black rights in the United States. Sanderson is credited with establishing the first publicly funded school for black children in the state of California. He is predominantly known for his accomplishments in the education and civil rights for Black people, particularly in the State of California. Sanderson was regarded as one of the most influential spokesmen and educators on the west coast of the United States. James Caleb Jackson (March 28, 1811 July 11, 1895) was an American nutritionist and the inventor of the first dry, whole grain breakfast cereal which he called Granula. His views influenced the health reforms of Ellen G. White, a founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Jackson was born in Manlius, Onondaga County, New York, to James and Mary Ann Elderkin Jackson. After completing his education at Chittenango Polytechnic Institute, he worked as a farmer until 1838. He married Lucretia Edgerton Brewster when he was 19 years old. In his early life, Jackson was active as an abolitionist. He lectured for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, becoming the society's secretary in 1840. With Nathaniel P. Rogers, starting in 1840 he edited the National Anti-Slavery Standard for about a year. In 1844, with Abel Brown he bought the abolitionist newspaper the Albany Patriot. Jackson managed and wrote for the paper until 1847, when his failing health forced him to retire.
