Title:
Letter from Parker Pillsbury, Concord, N[ew] H[ampshire], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1878 November 22nd
Description:
Parker Pillsbury writes to William Lloyd Garrison commenting on the death of Daniel Howell Hise in Salem, Ohio (Pillsbury calls him "David Howell Hise"). Pillsbury says Hise was "one of the best and bravest men I ever knew ... and one of the truest, most faithful and most uncompromising Abolitionists I ever knew." He tells Garrison that Hise, along with Joel McMillan and Marus R. Robinson, (both people he says Garrison also knew) "constituted a trinity of moral force and energy, fidelity and charity, and all good will to man and woman kind, seldom equalled, never surpassed." Pillsbury then states the purpose of the letter is to send Garrison a poem (not included) by "Mr. Albert Pike, a native of that town [Newburyport, Massachusetts]; and by complexity of marriages, a couisn in law of mine."
