Title:
Letter written by Willliam Lloyd Garrison in 1851
Description:
'This letter was carried by my great-great-grandfather when he fled to Canada after the Fugitive Slave Law was passed. In November 2006, I was visiting a cousin in New Bedford. She gave me a notebook that belonged to my great-great-grandmother and an envelope with some newspapers. In the ledger, I found this letter. When I opened it up, I nearly fainted! Never knew this existed!'
