Description
Holograph, signed with initials.William Lloyd Garrison is enjoying the hospitality of William F. Parker. Garrison comments about Parker: "He is about the only abolitionist in all Cleveland." The Salem anniversary meeting closed with five to six hundred dollars paid or pledged. Garrison met a group of anti-slavery friends at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin S. Jones. As usual, Garrison was photographed unsuccessfully; the photographer did not capture a good likeness. Tonight, Garrison will lecture in Chapin Hall (in Cleveland), and expects only a small audience since there very little anti-slavery feeling there. Susan B. Anthony feels it is useless for Garrison to lecture in Rochester on Friday evening because Ira Stout is to be hanged that day. Garrison regrets to hear of the illnesses of Charles F. Hovey and Mrs. Wendell Phillips.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.4, no.245.
