Mott, Lydia

Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Manuscript addressed from "Antislavery office".Lydia Mott informs William Lloyd Garrison that she has received visits that week from Sallie Holley and Miss Putnam, who were in Albany for the funeral of Holley's uncle. Mott expresses her gratitude at the improvement in Garrison's health, and her joy that he will be in attendance at the May meeting in New York City. Mott asserts that there is "little hope" of Francis Jackson's attendance, and that that of Wendell Phillips will be dependant upon the health of his wife. Mott declares that it appears as though their numbers are "fewer from year to year", but states that there never was a time when "uncompromising antislavery" agitation was as sorely needed.
