Description

Copy of letter, in the hand of another person. Whereabouts of original manuscript unknown.William Lloyd Garrison begins this letter: "Accept my thanks for your volume, entitled "Recollections and Experiences of an Abolitionist." He hopes that Alexander Milton Ross will send a copy of his book to the librarian at Cornell University. He refers to the efforts made by Alexander Milton Ross on behalf of the fugitive slave. Garrison objects to passages in the book in which Ross quotes John Brown's derogatory remarks about the Northern abolitionists. Garrison claims that the Garrisonian plan for the overthrow of slavery by moral and spiritual means was better than John Brown's doctrine of force and servile insurrection.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.6, no.140.
