Le Favre, L. O

Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.L.O. Le Favre writes William Lloyd Garrison apologizing for the delay in his response to Garrison's previous letter, and thanks Garrison for his "tender sympathy and words of cheer" in relation to the death of Le Favre's aunt. Le Favre offers his own sympathies for the illness which kept Garrison from attending the funeral, and recounts the affair to Garrison. Le Favre states that in the two years during which his aunt was rendered an invalid from her illness, he developed the habit of taking a likeness of Garrison to his aunt's bedside, stating that this "invariably gave her so much pleasure". Le Favre makes note of the enormous change in public perception towards the abolitionists, noting the courage it took to adhere to the cause in its early years.
