Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison has been sick the past three or four days. The Garrisons had a baby on Dec. 11, named Elizabeth Pease. On page two of this manuscript, William L. Garrison has included a 21-line jingle, entitled "Lizzy Pease," with each line rhyming with "Pease." Garrison fears that if Henry C. Wright is not cautious, he may go to a premature grave. Frederick Douglass is supposed to return home on the ship Cambria on the 4th. There are some protests against the ransom of Frederick Douglass by English friends. Garrison never disapproved of the ransoming, though he thinks the slaveholders' demand for compensation unjust. He comments on the Mexican War; for the sake of justice, he desires the defeat of the American troops. Garrison notes the paradox of killing neighboring Mexicans and aiding famine victims in Ireland.
Includes envelope, with the delivery address: Elizabeth Pease, (Feethams), Darlington, England.
