Description

Holograph, signed.Amos Augustus Phelps wishes William Lloyd Garrison to take the furnished house at $300 a year. The Peace Convention just closed; more than 150 were enrolled. As a result of women being elected to committees, some clergy and other attendees ordered their names erased from the rolls; there are "only about ten or twelve left." George W. Benson spoke with great power at the convention. Samuel Joseph May got strangely confused. Garrison's "Declaration of Sentiments" was adopted 5 to 1; he expects it to cause tremendous excitement. The New England Non-Resistance Society was formed; Garrison lists the names of the officers. Garrison and brother George (Benson) stayed with the Southwicks.Merrill, Walter M.
