Notes:
Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison is starting for western New York to attend a series of anti-slavery conventions. Garrison owns the three volumes of Abdy's Travels in the U.S.; Garrison has left them with his wife so that Lydia Maria Child can borrow them when she comes to the city. Garrison compliments Lydia M. Child's treatment of slavery in "Progress of Religious Ideas"; Garrison will print extracts of it in the Liberator when he returns home. Garrison discusses the subject of "Spiritual Manifestations" and is a firm believer in their reality. Mrs. Tribou of Hanover, Mass., is the best medium Garrison knows.
