notes
"Holograph, signed. On page one of this manuscript, there is letter by John T. Sargent to William Lloyd Garrison. J. P. Blanchard has asked John T. Sargent to give William Lloyd Garrison a pamphlet. On page two, there is an incomplete letter by William Lloyd Garrison presumably to Nathan Robinson Johnston, [Oct. 15, 1860]. The letter is apparently a rough draft. (See Call No. Ms.A.1.1 v.5, p.112 for the final version of this letter, dated Oct. 15, 1860.) Garrison writes that bronchial trouble prevents him from attending the convention in Bradford, Vermont. He has pleasant memories of his visit to Vermont two years ago. Wherever he travels, he has found friends and hospitality. If those people who were prejudiced against him listened to his speeches, they would have found them to be repetitions of the words of the prophets and apostles. The only abolitionism he has ever advocated is embodied in the 58th chapter of Isaiah, the Golden Rule, and the Declaration of Independence."
