Title:
Letter from Caroline Maria Seymour, West Newton, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, [1869] Oct[ober] 23
Description:
Caroline Maria Severance writes to William Lloyd Garrison apologizing for missing his visit and sharing her hope that he will go to Hartford, stating "I think it would do a world of good." She tells Garrison just to come for one night of the convention if he cannot stay for two, reminding him "you will be so near home." Severance writes that Lucy Stone will not be able to attend but she "feel[s] it very important to give a strong N. England influence" to the convention. On verso, a note written in a different handwriting describes traveling by train to Hartford.
