Smith, Increase S

Description

Holograph, signedIncrease S. Smith is taking the Liberator and likes it better than he anticipated. He wants to see the account of the Alton, Illinois, riot and the Faneuil Hall meeting. Increase S. Smith writes: "Mr. [Wendell] Phillips's speech was splendid, wasn't it? and Mr. Austin's, --- but let him have his transient triumph, his day of reckoning will come and the final award will be given with justice." Increase S. Smith thinks that he will never like Mr. Garrison's taste and style, but the principles he advocates will have the his hearty approval. Mr. [Samuel J.] May preached two "most solemn sermons." Mr. James Baker is "in a state of conviction, but when he will come into that of conversion is doubtful." Increase S. Smith inquires about "that trouble about Mr. Bright's last child," and refers to an opinion of Mr. [Ellis Gray?] Loring in the case. He is pleased that an abolition speech has been made in Congress: "[William] Slade has my thanks for keeping on when he had the floor."
