Title:
Letter from Nathan Winslow, Portland, [Maine], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1832 [November] 24
Description:
In this letter to William Lloyd Garrison, Nathan Winslow discusses a potential visit by Garrison and suggests that he "defer it a few weeks" as they are planning to organize an antislavery society and believe that once it is operational he could "visit us to better advantage than at present." He then discusses his "Eastern journey", describing a trek "45 miles beyond any habitation ... taking lodgings under the broad canopy of Heaven, our couch the boughs of trees." Winslow also comments on a circular sent by Garrison and says "fear not my friend, God, truth and justice are on our side." He states the he "is authorized by the friends here" to tell Garrison "the amount needful shall be forthcoming when wanted" and includes General [Samuel] Fessenden among his supporters saying "it would have done thy heart good to have heard his sentiments." He also asks Garrison to send him six doezen copies of his Garrison's work, "Thoughts on Colonization."
