Description

Holograph, signed.William Lloyd Garrison writes this letter in the house they must abandon. Garrison was given a kind, sympathetic, and joyful reception by friends. An anonymous donor gave Garrison forty-five dollars. He describes the night spent at home and the breakfast with Isaac Knapp, Henry Benson, and Charles C. Burleigh. He tells of a conversation with Christina (a servant). Garrison was unmolested on the street and was even proposed for the legislature.

The Misses Weston will provide storage for Garrison's furniture.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.1, no.223.
