Holograph, signed.
William Henry Ashurst has been shut up in a darkened room and in pain, suffering from an inflammation in the eyes. He would like a copy of the pamphlet on non-resistance. He wants to subscribe to the Liberator and receive any official material "from any of our known friends, upon the woman question." Ashurst tells William Lloyd Garrison: "Ask Mrs. Mott to show you, if she has not already done, to a most excellent letter from my friend William Howitt to her on the woman question, and consider how it may be first published in America."
