Title:
Letter from Henry Vincent, Regents Park, London, [England], to Willaim Lloyd Garrison, 1872 July 31
Description:
Henry Vincent writes to William Lloyd Garrison about the death of Richard Davis Webb, saying it "will be deeply felt by a large circle of friends on both sides of the Atlantic." He asks Garrison about the 1872 presidential election and requests that he send him "a few lines as a guide to my mind at this crisis." Vincent then discusses the changing face of Europe, now that "the accursed French Empire is dead" and "Germany united" and he points out the battle between church and state being fought across Europe. He then comments that a "peaceful resolution at Geneva will be a great thing for the world" possibly alluding to the Alabama Claims negotiations. Vincent asks further about the 1872 presidential election and the position of Wendell Phillips, and in the postscript, he writes of "a constant craving for one more run through America."
