Description
Holograph, signedWilliam Lloyd Garrison writes: "This, you are aware, is 'Friendship's Valley' to our excellent friend Prudence Crandall; but I need a dearer appellation---not that I esteem friendship less, but love more. Here centre all the affections of my heart; here is the object and most precious to me; and here I am received in a manner too kind, and too indulgent, for one so unworthy as myself." Garrison continues to write of his love for Helen Benson. Garrison must leave for Philadelphia and a national meeting in New York. Those expected to speak are: William Jay, Beriah Green, Amos A. Phelps, and Samuel J. May. William Lloyd Garrison's portrait that was engraved by Simeon Smith Jocelyn is considered a failure by allMerrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison,$cv.1, no.143
