Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison wrote this letter to his wife, Helen Eliza Garrison, while on board a ship bound for Liverpool. The ship passed Holyhead in a violent gale and dense fog. The pilot boarded the ship at 8 p.m., bringing the Liverpool Chronicle, which reported an attempt to assassinate Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Edward Oxford, the assassin, was part black and was therefore considered by the passengers to have been incapable of being insane at the time he committed the crime. Garrison writes that he has arrived safely in Liverpool on Tuesday morning, June 16, 1840.
The salutation, Garrison's signature, and the last sentence of the letter have been crossed out, probably for purposes of publication. This letter was printed in part in the Liberator, July 31, 1840.
