Description

Holograph, signed with initials.In spite of the pending election, three or four hundred people assembled at William Lloyd Garrison's lecture last evening. The majority were ladies. Garrison spoke on the religious aspect of the anti-slavery cause. The first ice of the season has formed, but the sun is bright. Garrison believes there is no abolitionism in Albany and expects a small audience. Garrison thinks Albany is "a corrupt and selfish place." He tried to dissuade Lydia Mott from attempting a meeting. His success in Syracuse was due to Samuel Joseph May's influence and propaganda. Garrison hopes to be home in a week. Samuel J. May will stop in Boston. Friends have donated a sum of money for the traveling expenses of Samuel J. May's European trip. Gerrit Smith gave fifty dollars.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.4, no.249.
