Letter from Henry Clarke Wright, Florence, Mass[achusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, [18]64 June 26
Description:
Henry Clarke Wright writes to William Lloyd Garrison notifying him that he will be coming to Boston in a few days and "do[es] much desire to see" him. Wright states that he is "lecturing & talking all the time & often with the fervent enemies of Abolition" and wishes to converse with Garrison instead "once in a while." He corrects the name of a newspaper he mentioned in a letter from the previous day and recalls reading Garrsion's account of the Baltimore Convention (which nominated Abraham Lincoln for a second term as President). "Put the two ends of your life together ... The Baltimore Prison of 1829 - The Baltimore Convention of 1864. What a vision to you! What experiences! What facts!" Wright declares.
