"Holograph, signed with initials. William Lloyd Garrison tells about the Progressive Friends' meeting in Longwood, Pennsylvania where Richard Purvis argued against the work of the New England Freedmen's Aid Commission, as outlined by J. M. M'Kim. Garrison supported J. M. M'Kim's side of the controversy. Richard Purvis was \"pronounced disorderly\" by a vote of the meeting because of his vituperative language. Garrison says: \"Anna Dickinson spoke about thirty minutes in condemnation of the Republican party, after the style of Phillips; but it was an absurd and rambling talk, and produced no effect.\" The Rev. Henry Blanchard and Samuel Joseph May also gave addresses. Samuel J. May was not looking well. Garrison came to Wilmington to see his \"dear, noble, venerated friend Thomas Garrett who has been seriously unwell.\" Garrison is expecting Richard Davis Webb, Mary Anne Estlin, and Henry Anthony to return to Wilmington. Miss Estlin will also go to Baltimore and Washington."
