'Shortly after his wife's release from prison in 1671, George Fox was drawn to travel to the New World. He was then 47 years old. Barbados was his first port of call, before going on to Jamaica, and then the American mainland.' First published for the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the UK, this is an account of Quaker founder George Fox's trip to Barbados in 1671, together with the complete text of his famous Letter to the Governor of Barbados.
