Source Description

Hunt informs Garrison that he was informed, by Wendell Phillips of the proposed convention scheduled to take place in Northampton on 17 October, and reports that he has secured the use of Town Hall for the occasion. Hunt praises Phillips for the latter's efforts in resolving "erroneous impressions" surrounding Garrison & the abolitionist cause in the Northampton region, impressions due to, per Hunt, the lesser amount of work expended to date in the region (when compared to the eastern portion of the state.)
