Description

Holograph, signedWilliam Lloyd Garrison discusses plans to go to Vermont with Oliver Johnson. He is glad that "the subscription list of the Standard more than holds its own in these desperate times." The receipts for the Liberator are $600-$800 less than usual. He hears that Fanny Garrison is planning to return home. William L. Garrison is apalled by the war and exclaims: "What a war! what slaughter! what retribution for our national transgression! and what little progress in putting down the rebellion! I have no more faith in McClellan than before."Accompanied by an envelope with the delivery address: Editor of the A. S. Standard, 48 Beekman Street, New York City, N. Y
