Letter from William Lloyd Garrison to Andrew Paton

Number of Pages:
5
Date:
April 10, 1863
Moncure D. Conway carries a letter for abolitionist William L. Garrison, who writes from Boston to his friend, Andrew Paton in Glasgow, Scotland, and introduces Conway in terms of highest commendation. Garrison also explains that Conway is on "an anti-slavery mission to England." Garrison hopes that Paton and Conway will work well together and that Paton, a member of the Glasgow Emancipation Society, will help to boost Conway's presence in the United Kingdom. In addition, Garrison discuses President Abraham Lincoln's "Emancipation Proclamation" and the circumstances of slavery in the American South.
