Description

Holograph, signed.George Thompson's farewell letter that was published in the Liberator will alarm his enemies, whose cruelty he hopes to expose before the British people. William Lloyd Garrison hopes Isaac Knapp has hired a printing office. Garrison praises Henry C. Wright and Amos A. Phelps. He asks for Dr. William E. Channing's work on slavery. William L. Garrison's thinks that the extract of Dr. Channing's work printed "in the Register is singularly weak and inconclusive---but I suppose it is the most rotten spot in the volume, also Prof. Willard would have not have quoted it as the soundest." E. M. P. Wells discontinued his subscription to the Liberator because of criticism of the mayor.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.1, no.231.
