"Holograph, signed. Title devised by cataloger. On the first page, the letter is addressed to \"William Lloyd Garrison Brooklyn Connt.\" and it is postmarked with a red, circular stamp reading, \"Boston Ms. Jun 25.\" In the copy of the letter from Francis Jackson to Jesse Stedman, dated Boston, [Massachusetts], June 20, 1838, Jackson answers \"the charges brought against Wm Lloyd Garrison by a minister of the gospel\" point by point. He explains that while he does not know Garrison's religious or political views, he says he does \"not know a more thorough and consistent Christian.\" Jackson defends Garrison, arguing he is not \"a sabbath-breaker,\" \"an enemy to the Christian religion,\" or \"a violator of all law both human & divine,\" but that \"his character is not only spotless, but has never been impeached.\" He also quotes from Harriet Martineau in her book, \"Retrospect on Western Travel,\" [Vol. 3, Jackson incorrectly attributes the quotation from Vol. 2] to illustrate how Garrison was incorrectly characterized by his enemies. Jackson also says he sends Stedman the prospectus for the 8th volume of the Liberator so he can read Garrison's stated \"religious opinion & views of human government.\""
