Description

Holograph, signedTitle devised by catalogerWilliam Robson informs William Lloyd Garrison that the sum of ℗Đ15 sterling has been sent to him as a contribution from the members of the Warrington Anti Slavery Society. The author asserts that they "have not much fear of the fighting" of the Civil War, as it is "quite clear to [Robson] that raising sufficient funds to equip a army of 80 or 100000 men would be impossible", and points to the War of 1812 as an illustration of this argument. Robson shares his reminiscences of a speech delivered by Wendell Phillips, and asks Garrison to send his remebrances to Phillips
