Title:
Letter from William Smeal to William Lloyd Garrison, [1841]
Description:
William Smeal writes to William Lloyd Garrison in this portion of a letter about charges made against Joseph Sturge. Smeal states his purpose "is the information of the Anti Slavery friends, so far as our Society extends - believing, that if not issued from [G]lasgow, there was no other locality in the Kingdom, from which such Documents, as the Boston Female Report, wo[ul]d be likely to be brought into notice." Smeal signs the letter "William Smeal. One of the Sec[retaries] Glas[gow] Eman[cipation] Society". In the postscript, Smeal states he is "daily expecting to see John A. Collins here accompanied by C[harles]. L[enox]. Remond."
