Description

Holograph, signed.William Lloyd Garrison ranks Philadelphia next to Boston as his favorite city. He praises his hosts James and Lucretia Mott. George Thompson is with orthodox friend Abraham L. Pennock. Henry E. Benson is with Robert Purvis. He describes the assembly at Dr. Cox's house in NY and the steamboat passage with Campbell, Ibbotson, Thompson, and Henry E. Benson. They talked to slaveholders on the steamboat, some of whom sneered. George Thompson's lecture in a Scotch Presbyterian Church made a favorable impression. Garrison may stay in New York in order to see Cox and Leavitt embark for Europe.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.1, no.192.
