Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Mary Burton informs Elizabeth Pease Nichol that she has been giving increasing thought to the positions of William Lloyd Garrison on "the "Woman" question", and that she has arrived to the conclusion that Garrison's opinions on the matter ought to be heard in Britain, arguing that it would "put new life into our movement". Burton opines that Garrison's oratory could convince those whom dismiss woman's rights as a "political" matter that it is in fact "one of the largest and most momentous" issues facing the human race.
