Item Information

Title:
Letter from Theodore Tilton, [New York, N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, April 3, 1862
Description:
Theodore Tilton forwards to William Lloyd Garrison (for his daughter Fanny) a copy of a photograph of Elizabeth Barrett Browning that he states was taken of her one month prior to her death, and which he claims to have been the last photograph taken of her. Tilton describes the state of the cause as "striding forward with seven-league books", and proclaims that the ideas that slavery is at the heart of the cause of the war, and that compromise with slaveholding states would be "dishonorable" are gaining ground in public sentiment. Tilton describes Wendell Phillips's visit to Washington, D.C. as a success.
