Holograph, signed.
Sallie Holley recently lectured here "to very general acceptance." Abby Kelley Foster and Stephen S. Foster held several meetings in City Hall. On their last night, they had to enter City Hall by breaking the lock. The notices of their meetings by the Detroit newspapers have been "abusive, untruthful and scurrilous, to the last degree." No preparation was made for William Lloyd Garrison; it was impossible to procure a hall. Garrison recounts a journey opposite Detroit, on the Canadian side of the boundary, to the village of Windsor, to the home of Henry Bibb, the printer of the "Voice of the Fugitive." Bibb's printing office was destroyed by a fire. Garrison then walked to Sandwich, a settlement composed mostly of fugitive slaves. Garrison addressed a mostly black audience in a Methodist church in Detroit.
