Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Manuscript annotated on recto, with "107" in pencil above Pillsbury's salutation to Garrison, and "Garrison MSS." stamped in blue ink beneath letterhead date.Manuscript addressed on verso to "Wm. Lloyd Garrison / 21 Cornhill / Boston."Parker Pillsbury writes William Lloyd Garrison calling his attention to the "Union Meeting" held in Manchester, asserting that Garrison would have been "greatly edified" by a number of the speeches delivered, and in particular by that delivered by Ichabod Bartlett, whom Pillsbury describes as the "most able lawyer in the state". Pillsbury relates that the "indignation in this town" brought upon by the visit of George Thompson to the United States is no less than that upon his previous visit, and opines that Thompson "would be mobbed as quick as then". Pillsbury contrasts this reception of Thompson to that in Keene, where "great joy" is felt by its citizens upon Thompson's impending visit.
