Letter from John Greenleaf Whittier, Hav[erhi]ll, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1836 [December] 19th
John Greenleaf Whittier writes to William Lloyd Garrison sending him 3 petitions "as a specimen of our Merrimack women's spirit in the cause of abolition." He also sends money and requests some publications for the Haverhill Female Anti-Slavery Society, providing instructions for their delivery. He says he has "left the Gazette," and invites Garrison to attend the next meeting of the Essex County Anti-Slavery Society. Whittier tells Garrison, "Do come, if possible: & we will try & do something for the Liberator." He reports that they are "circulating petitions to the state legislature" and suggests that the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society should "print a circular & a petition & send it to abolitionists throughout the state."
