Description

Holograph, signed.William Lloyd Garrison is pleased that Theodore Weld visited Providence. (James A.?) Thome is suited for the mission to the West Indies. The formation of an anti-slavery society in Haiti is a cheerful event; Garrison expects the Southern adversaries to be alarmed. Samuel Joseph May intends to accept the call to a Unitarian church in Scituate. Garrison's remarks on the sanctity of the Sabbath in the Liberator have resulted in much censure.Merrill, Walter M.
