Holograph, signed with initials.
In view of the death of George Thompson's oldest and only son and his absence from his family, William Lloyd Garrison believes Thompson should return home this spring for appearances. Thompson's pecuniary situation has kept him away as a matter of necessity rather than choice. Garrison says about George Thompon's situation: "From what I can find out, he would gladly go over with me, if he could be relieved of the expense of the trip to and from England; ---say, $400. I say from England; because, unless he can find something to do that will afford him the means of livelihood when he gets home, he will have to return next fall, again to enter the lecturing field at the West." Garrison has already solicited for money for George Thompson from Lucretia Mott, Mr. M'Kim, and G. W. Light. Garrison has taken the responsibility of booking a passage for George Thompson on the Cunard steamship Cuba. William L. Garrison will officially represent the American Freedmen's Aid Commission at the Paris conference. Garrison thinks that Mary Grew should not be excluded from the Paris conference. It is doubtful that Miss Estlin is coming to America this year.
Also, there is an envelope with the same Call No. Mss.Acc.2705 (18). It has the delivery address: Rev. Samuel May, Leicester, Mass. It is postmarked Boston, Mass. April 3, 5 AM.
