Description

Holograph, signed with initials.William Lloyd Garrison received James Miller M'Kim's letter, "enclosing an introductory note to Rev. Dr. Duffield." Garrison spoke twice in Detroit to small audiences. His lectures had to compete with C. F. Browne (Artemus Ward) and the theatrical performances of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ken for an audience. He hopes that his lecture concerning the freedmen's cause will help it along in Detroit. Garrison favors the union of the Christian Commission and the National Freedmen's Aid Commission. Levi Coffin and Mr. Walden called on Garrison. Garrison will lecture in Cincinnati and is glad that George Thompson will be with him there. He addressed a large and respectable audience in Chicago. He complains of the press coverage.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.5, no.140.
