Letter from Isaac H. Thorp, Weare, N[ew] H[ampshire], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1848 Nov[ember] 6
Description:
Isaac H. Thorp writes to William Lloyd Garrison requesting the "the Liberator for 6 months [and] if things come round right I mean to be a regular subscriber". Thorp claims he is "tired of the soft sodder of the so called Anti Slavery publications of the day" and calls the Liberator "a True Anti Slavery Publication bold & true Fearless for the rights of down trodden & oppressed Humanity[.]" Thorp then shares his wish to "be useful in the Anti Slavery cause" and asks Garrison to send him a circular and how he could contribute to an antislavery fair. Before closing the letter, he asks Garrison "to send some lecturer up this way" to Weare, New Hampshire.
