Title:
Letter from Thomas Holliday Barker, Manchester, [England], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1867 Aug[us]t 8
Description:
Thomas Holliday Barker writes to William Lloyd Garrison thanking him for this "very kind and pleasing letter" and sharing his hope to see him soon. He asks if he can tell the "antislavery friends that you will accept a favourable expression ... in the Free Trade Hall on the 23rd or 24th of Oct[ober]?" Barker also says he is happy to hear of Mrs. Garrison's improving health. In the postscript, he remarks he is "glad to see [the National] Anti-Slavery Standard gives a full report of the London Breakfast" given in honor of Garrison but that the "Editorial note is not so graceful and judicious as it might have been."
