John Keep writes to William Lloyd Garrison concerning his letter of June 18th, stating that at the time he was unaware that Garrison was no longer residing in Boston, but in New York City. Keep informs Garrison that he wrote chiefly to inquire as to whether or not Garrison will "deem it best to note the Oberlin Educational Enterprise, especially the gift from England to Oberlin of 30,000 dollars" when he composes his historical analysis of the American anti-slavery movement. Keep stresses that the funds secured saved Oberlin College from "dissolution", and highlights the role that the educational policies of Oberlin have played in the abolitionist movement.
