Title:
Letter from Parker Pillsbury, Belfast, [Ireland], to William Lloyd Garrison, October 5. 1854
Description:
Parker Pillsbury informs William Lloyd Garrison that he has received additional correspondence. Pillsbury informs Garrison that a fraud named "Vincent" is travelling in the region "pretending to collect money for a Tract Movement" in the manner of James Pennington. Pillsbury states that this person has made off with monies earmarked for their Bazaar, and has been slandering the American Anti-Slavery Society agents, informing others that there exist "plenty of Christian operators" in the United States which they might aid in lieu of the Garrisonians. Pillsbury notes that some of their friends are "talking rather despairingly", and that he "hardly [knows] how to comfort them".
