Source Description
Edward M. MacGraw writes William Lloyd Garrison explaining that while he has been a longtime subscriber to the Liberator, he has been quite unable to pay for his subscription owing to personal circumstances. Stating that he has since been elected to the post of "State Prison Commissioner", MacGraw asserts that he makes his copy of the Liberator available to the prisoners to read as soon as he has finished it himself. MacGraw encloses the sum of $7.00 for Garrison as payment for his delinquent account.
