Description

Holograph, signed with initials.Through the failure of not receiving his mail, William Lloyd Garrison did not stop in Pittsburgh, where a hall was engaged and an audience of fifteen hundred people were disappointed. Six meetings of the Ohio Anti-Slavery Society have been held; all meetings were crowded to overflowing. Garrison writes: "The proceedings have elicited lively demonstrations of satisfaction; our standard has been kept erect; disunionism has been enforced with all fidelity, and the religion of the land exposed in all its corruption; but there has been no wincing---not a single note of disapprobation." Garrison spoke five times. The other speakers were: Miss Frances Ellen Watkins, Dr. Martin L. Brooks, Marius R. Robinson, and Josephine Griffing. The weather was clear and mild. Garrison received a warm welcome in Salem, with many invitations to lecture. He goes to Cleveland tomorrow and then to Rochester.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.4, no.243.
