Letter from Harriet Martineau, Ambleside, [England], to William Lloyd Garrison, October 23d 1850
Description:
Harriet Martineau writes William Lloyd Garrison informing him to expect the arrival of a sum of £10 by way of Ellis Gray Loring, and states that this is her contribution in support of Garrison's work with the Liberator.

Martineau stresses her sense of "deep obligation" to Garrison for his remembrances of her, and for his keeping her appraised of the movement by way of the Liberator.
