Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Manuscript annotated on recto, with "Rev. Wm H. Fish 6 Jan. 1865 Vernon N.Y." in black ink on top-left of page, and "5" in blue ink over last number in date on letterhead.William Henry Fish expresses his regrets to Roger Folger Wallcut that he is obliged to "suspend the Liberator for a while", owing to diminished income and substantial "college bills" accrued that year. Fish laments the necessity of his doing so, and opines his hope that Gerrit Smith and others will generously contribute to the Liberator to support its continued publication. Fish declares his dismay that differences in opinion should drive apart members of the American Anti-Slavery Society, especially William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips.
