Letter from Gerrit Smith, Peterboro, [New York], to William Lloyd Garrison, [18]63 May 5
Description:
Gerrit Smith writes to William Lloyd Garrison acknowledging a letter he received from Garrison and saying he does not plan to go to Washington unless his wife, Mrs. Smith, does but "she seems hardly well enough to go." Smith tells Garrison he received letters from both Mr. [Salmon P.] Chase and his daughter [Elizabeth Smith Miller] of "the pleasant day you all had at Readsville." He then declares, "I love Chase" and shares his opinion of Chase's work.
