Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Manuscript annotated on recto, with "187" in pencil beneath Potter's salutation to Garrison.Manuscript addressed (on verso) to "William Lloyd Garrison / Boston / Mass".Ray Potter forwards to William Lloyd Garrison a pamphlet, and encourages him to read it, asserting its relevance to the antislavery cause, and the need for Garrison, as the "standard bearer" of said cause, to be appraised of new developments in the struggle. Potter praises Garrison's delivering a "faithful testimony against the wicked of the present corrupt ecclesiastical organization of the day", and asserts that the pro-slavery faithful, rather than Garrison, are "infidels". Potter includes a copy of a letter from Henry Clark Wright, which he hopes Garrison will publish in the pages of the "Liberator".
