Title:
Letter from Lydia White, Phila[delphia, Pennsylvania], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1832 [June] 9th
Description:
Lydia White writes to William Lloyd Garrison encouraging him "to let nothing cast thee down as to prevent thee from reaching forth a hand of help to the colored people in their debates or plans". She agrees with Garrison's "urging the necessity of the free colored people considering this country their home" and his opposition to all colonization efforts. calling his "sentiments on this subject good in divine right." She then copies an extract from a letter written to her by one of her "particular colored friends" about a vision of Garrison that appeared during a prayer meeting. White tells him that "they wanted me to tell this to thee ... [and] that a sense of thy kindness is deeply enshrined in their hearts". In the postscript, White asks Garrison if he would like "to meet with this little society of six" who held the prayer meeting.
