Edition Notes
Handwritten copy of letter; not William Lloyd Garrison's handwriting.
This letter is a narrative of William Lloyd Garrison's tour through Pennsylvania to Ohio, "with special reference to the Anniversaries of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Anti-Slavery Societies." He mentions the hospitality of James S. Gibbons and Abby H. Gibbons. He met Mrs. Sedgwick of Lenox and Mr. Henry Bleby, a missionary from Barbados. Friends assembled at J. Miller M'Kim's house in Germantown, including James Mott and Lucretia Mott. A possible reason for the small attendance at the West Chester meeting was that a horticultural fair was just held there with a large attendance and the nearby farming population did not have more leisure time to attend the anti-slavery meeting. The testimony of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society was in favor of the dissolution of the Union. Garrison denies the anti-slavery character of the U.S. Constitution. He tells of Robert Collyer's advocacy of singing before unmusical Quakers. Garrison had a small meeting in Harrisburg. The West is in a state of depression.
Letter printed in The Liberator, Oct. 22, 1858; also in the National Anti-Slavery Standard, Oct. 30, 1858.
