Description
Holograph, signed.The New England Convention just closed; it was the most radical of any of the series. The iniquitous war with Mexico was discussed, with the boldest words "uttered against the American government, and loyalty to it was denounced as rebellion against God." William H. Channing and Theodore Parker distinguished themselves with their doctrines. There was rejoicing at the convention over the "grand meeting in Glasgow." William Lloyd Garrison hopes the Free Church (of Scotland) will return the "blood-stained money" to the American South. Garrison refers to an invitation to visit Scotland; he is uncertain if he can accept.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.3, no.134.
