Letter from John Farmer, Concord, N[ew] H[ampshire], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1834 Nov[ember] 1
John Farmer writes to William Lloyd Garrison inviting him to come to Concord during the visit of George Thompson and Cyrus Pitt Grosvenor, suggesting "it may have a good effect in removing the prejudices against you, for even here, some view you with dread and apprehension." He also passes Garrison an invitation from George Kent to stay at his home while in the city. He tells Garrison that other invitations have been sent to David Lee Child "to come with his lady," and to Amos Augustus Phelps, and he asks him to invite Benjamin C. Bacon, "the Secretary of the New England Anti-Slavery Society."
