Letter from Mary Grew, Lenox, to Helen Eliza Garrison, 1861 Aug[ust] 27th
Description:
Mary Grew writes to Helen Eliza Garrison about her travels since she seperated from Mr. and Mrs. Garrison upon leaving Providence, Rhode Island. Grew mentions spending time with the Mays and Fosters, and discussing "Mrs. Chapman's circular", as well as excerpts from letters between Maria Weston Chapman and William Lloyd Garrison and Maria Weston Chapman and Sarah Pugh. Grew also tells Garrison about spending a day at a Shaker meeting, "for besides the novelty of that exhibition, I expected to meet Willy and Frank [Garrison's sons] and I was not disappointed." Grew also asks about her copy of the Liberator "which Mr. Garrison kindly promised to send me" and includes her current mailing address.
