William Lloyd Garrison refuses further pecuniary aid to Aaron Cooley. Garrison writes: "This incessant importunity for money not only from me, but from a multitude of persons far and near, (especially in view of what you received long since from Mr. Phillips and myself, and have collected of others more recently,) indicates an utter want of self-respect in you, a beggarly method of raising means to support yourself, and is getting to be intolerable." He objects particularly to Aaron Cooley's attempt to get a donation from the Duke of Argyll when William Lloyd Garrison was in London.
