Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph.
This letter begins with the death of William Lloyd Garrison's son, Charles Follen Garrison. William L. Garrison explains his attitude toward death and especially his feelings about this grievous loss. He tells the details of Charles's illness and erroneous treatment. Garrison heard that Cassius M. Clay was stabbed to death at a public meeting. A letter dispatched reported his survival. Garrison reviews Clay's life as an abolitionist, his changed attitude toward the war with Mexico, and his capture and imprisonment. Joshua Reed Giddings is a delegate to the Peace Convention in Paris. Garrison discusses Henry C. Wright's autobiography. He mentions the encouraging anti-slavery anniversaries in New York and Boston. Wendell Phillips has received a generous donation from Elizabeth Pease Nichol to go toward a fund for the benefit of William Lloyd Garrison's family; a few friends are endeavoring to raise money. The bearer of this letter is Emma Weston. Eliza Lee Cabot Follen is going to Europe.
