Description

Holograph, signed with initials.William Lloyd Garrison has just returned from the celebration in Abington. He writes: "For the last three days, prior to this, it 'rained like the deluge,' accompanied with thunder and lightning of the most 'striking' character." J. Sella Martin, Moncure D. Conway, and Wendell Phillips gave capital speeches in Abington. Garrison gives family news. He is writing a speech that is "a serious, straight-forward anti-slavery arraignment of the guilt of the nation, and showing why the national visitation has come upon us." William L. Garrison advises Wendell Phillips Garrison not to overtax the lads and not to run unnecessary risks. Mrs. Helen Eliza Garrison was "greatly alarmed, the other night, when the lager beer saloon near us took fire."Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.5, no.40.
