Letter from John Nichol, Schwalbach, [Germany], to William Lloyd Garrison, July 18 / [18]70
Description:
John Nichol addresses William Lloyd Garrison with a letter of introduction for "two highly esteemed friends", Professor James Bryce and Mr. Albert Dicey, who propose to make a "short tour" of the United States. Nichol asserts that the two men are "always on the side of truth justice and freedom", and reports that they both "give sure promise if their lives last to become eminent men". Nichol requests that Garrison assist them in their endeavours by supplying whatever information he may as regards the "working of your institutions & especially of your schools", stating that the latter subject is of especial interest to these "zealous educationalists".
