Title:
Letter from Aaron Macy Powell, Albany, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Jan[uary] 4, 1862
Description:
Aaron Macy Powell informs William Lloyd Garrison of the arrangements made for the "Annual State Anti Slavery Convention", and inquires if he may annouce Garrison as one of the scheduled speakers for the occasion. Powell states that Wendell Phillips is scheduled to speak first, the "health of his wife permitting". Powell asserts that, with Mayor Thatcher remaining in office, they will not be "materially interfered with" by pro-slavery mobs. Powell writes that Parker Pillsbury and Samuel Joseph May are planning to attend. Powell states his pleasure in Garrison's being scheduled to speak in New York City, and states that "through the N.Y. press" Garrison will be "heard by the whole country". Powell informs Garrison that he will be embarking throughout New York State for a series of anti-slavery meetings, and details the visit of Garrison's son, William. Powell writes that Lydia Mott remains in Michigan, and that the date of her return remains uncertain.
