Description
Handwritten copy of letter; not William Lloyd Garrison's handwriting
William Lloyd Garrison admits to being lax about keeping up with his correspondence. He believes the Liberator and the National Anti-Slavery Standard "should harmonize, as far as practicable, in the mode of dealing with such correspondents as wish to make use of their columns to express their honest but often badly expressed sentiments on men and things." He commends Oliver Johnson for declining to publish Howland's attack on Mr. May. There was poor attendance at the Ellenville Convention. Garrison recommends an editorial note of dissent in the case of a letter which does not meet with his approval. Garrison writes: "I am growing more and more skeptical as to the 'honesty' of Lincoln. He is nothing better than a wet rag; and it is manifest that, in the appointment of Halleck to be Secretary of War, and McClellan commander-in-chief of the army, he is as near lunacy as any one not a pronounced Bedlamite." Fanny Garrison is visiting the Powell's home in Ghent, N.Y. and will go from there to (Susan B) Anthony's home in Brooklyn. Garrison suggests people for Fanny to call on. The Liberator's suscription is down 200 names
