Title:
Letter from George Thompson, Weymouth, to William Lloyd Garrison, 1851 June 16
Description:
George Thompson writes to WIlliam Lloyd Garrison that he is "so shaken and disordered by the mingled labours and excitements" and needed "medicine to set myself right." He tells Garrison his plans for the day to recover before the meeting and says he is sorry that he "cannot be with you to aid in the arrangements". Thompson metions that he and the Weston's have discussed coordinating the timing of the trains from Boston with the meeting in order to allow "friends from a distance to stay to the End should the proceedings pass the noon of night." He asks Garrison to "confer with the Committee on this subject", calling it "a serious matter".
