Title:
Letter from Henry Clarke Wright, Florence, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, [18]64 June 25
Description:
Henry Clarke Wright writes to William Lloyd Garrison about the charge that Garrison has "fallen apostatized" for supporting Lincoln in the coming presidential election of 1864. Wright defends Garrison's view and considers the merits of President Abraham Lincoln and his Republican rival, John C. Fremont, arguing that Lincoln is a "nobler man with far better A[nti] Slavery antecedents, & better fitted to give Legal form & practical Effect" to emancipation than Fremont. He then asks Garrison to "give us some of your strong, telling Editorials."
