Letter from Lester Anson Miller, Woodstock, [Vermont], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1832 December 18th
Lester Anson Miller writes this letter to William Lloyd Garrison in the form of a rhyming poem. He tells Garrison that his parents have allowed to him receive the Liberator but although, "I still desire to see you use the lash, But yet to pay you, have not the Cash." He also says he has created "a simple motto" for Garrison's pamphlet, "Thoughts on African Colonization," writing "Let him that would these 'Thoughts' deride, First read with candor, then decide." Miller wishes Garrison, "The best of luck my heart allows your cause, And may you both overturn Oppressions laws."
