Description
Holograph, signed.William Lloyd Garrison looked for James Lathrop's enlistment record but found nothing. Garrison thanks Oliver Johnson for the carte de visite. He spoke to Wendell Phillips about the idea of a trip to England since an increase in anti-slavery sentiment has taken hold there. On an earlier occasion, he urged Gerrit Smith to make the trip. Moncure Daniel Conway is trying to raise enough money to pay for a trip to England in April. Garrison does not want to go to England at someone else's expense. Garrison says: "I shall write to Theodore about a plan for the benefit of George Thompson, which I am sure will receive your approval and co-operation." Wendell, Fanny, and Frank Garrison have been sick with incipient diphtheria.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.5, no.52.
