Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.George Thompson writes to Henry Clarke Wright in regards to giving permission for him to make his letter to him public "although I little dreamt it would ever appear in print." He and Frederick Douglass are planning on leaving and will be with him before he gets the letter. He discusses Douglass's past five days attending antislavery meetings, peace meetings, suffrage meetings, and temperance meetings. He writes that "last night he had an audience of 2500 to hear him for nearly three hours." He remarks during the speech that he proposed a subscription to bring his wife and children over to England. The "Broad Street people" are convinced they made an error of Garrison's party. He hopes to discuss more of these events in person.
