Item Information

Title:
Letter from Henry Vincent, London, [England], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1874 June 17
Description:
In this letter to William Lloyd Garrison, Henry Vincent writes about Charles Sumner's recent conduct and shares his "half-formed desire" to begin a lecture tour in America, traveling next to New Zealand and Australia, before "return[ing] to California and lecture back to New York." He also asks Garrison, "What is the measure of all this talk about [Theodore] Tilton & [Henry Ward] Beecher", referencing the adultery scandal between Beecher and Tilton's wife, and asking about "Mrs. [Victoria C.] Woodhull of whom I hear." He then asks Garrison if he still believes in Spiritualism and if he has any news about George Thompson before providing details of his daily life and recent weather in London.
