Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison has to give a public address in Fall River on the 4th of July. Garrison describes his journey to Providence, Rhode Island. Garrison writes: "As a specimen of the growing wickedness of the times, take the fact that a military company is to arrive here by appointment to-morrow, (the Sabbath,) from New-York, and that another military company is to turn out here to escort them through the streets! In the afternoon, they are to march to Rev. Dr. Crocker's meeting-house, where I suppose they have been specially invited. Guns, bayonets, swords, plumes, banners, epaulets, in church on the Sabbath! It seems a studied, and is a most aggravated profanation of the day."
Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.2, no.39.
