Source Description
Owen Wilbour writes to William Lloyd Garrison "to show the popular opinion of professors of religion as regard religious faith and practice in this town and vicinity." He shares his belief that "satan stands on his last legs, the powers and principalities of the earth will soon be broken up" and the "words of the prophet will be fulfulled when he said overturn overturn overturn". Wilbour then offers Garrison a dialogue he has written between himself and his "neighbours on religious faith and practice", telling Garrison, "if you discover any light in it you can dispose of it as you think proper."
