Item Information

Title:
Letter from Samuel Philbrick, Brookline, [Mass.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Jan[uary] 5. 1854
Description:
Samuel Philbrick offers William Lloyd Garrison his regrets for "use of any language" in his previous letter that might have lead Garrison to view Philbrick as impeaching his "moral integrity". Philbrick assures Garrison that his sole intent in urging Garrison to file his accounts with the Treasury of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society was to ensure that Garrison remained free from the "jealousies" of others opening against him. Philbrick asserts the concurrence of Roger Folger Wallcut with his assertion that Garrison must see to the punctuality of his deadlines for the printing of the Liberator, and opines that Garrison must overcome his "natural tendency to procrastination". Philbrick assures Garrison that his frank language concerning the matter was not a "threat", and requests Garrison advise him of any outstanding debts so that they can work to providing financial relief to him.
