Letter from George Whittemore, Milford, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, [18]51 July 23d
Description:
George Whittemore Stacy writes to William Lloyd Garrison about the speech he delivered a few days earlier at an anti-slavery convention in Milford, Massachusetts. Stacy remarks that "more than one who came with great prejudice against you ... find their feelings changed", adding that "the spirit of the convention was of the right stamp." Stacy then states that the purpose of the letter is to ask Garrison to "write out the substance" of his "remarks - that we may have, perhaps in your paper, a few extra copies, to disabuse some who were not present." In the postscript, he tells Garrison that since he receives a copy of the Liberator "a hint in reply through the same will meet my eye."
