Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Wendell Phillips writes to Henry Clarke Wright from Cleveland, where he is to lecture prior to travelling to St. Louis and St. Paul. Phillips, in reference to Wright's last missive, asserts that "all the prophecies of that letter have come true", and attacks the "Washington leaders" responsible as "weak & shortsighted". Phillips states that their festival was a "great success", and that they may expect to be debt-free in 1868. Phillips states that their Massachusetts meeting went extremely well, too. Phillips laments the state of affairs in Susan B. Anthony & Parker Pillsbury's editorial endeavour (The Revolution) in New York, and hopes that they will right the ship shortly. Phillips proposes that Wright send letters in to the Standard for publication.
