- Creator:
- Benson, George William, 1808-1879, Garrison, William Lloyd, 1805-1879
- Date Created:
- 1835-11-27
- Description:
Holograph, signed.
Henry Egbert Benson and George Thompson arrived safely. George Thompson had a rough passage. George Thompson's departure leaves a void in spite of Theodore D. Weld in the West and Henry B. Stanton in Rhode Island. Garrison facetiously describes Thanksgiving feasting and questions the wisdom of a civil officer proclaiming Thanksgiving. Gerrit Smith, a former pillar of the Colonization Society, has joined the abolitionists.
Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.1, no.228.
