Title:
Letter from Theodore Dwight Weld, Fairmount, [Hyde Park, Boston, Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, [18]68 Jan[uary] 19th
Description:
Theodore Dwight Weld writes to William Lloyd Garrison passing on a request by the president of the Freedman's Union Committee in Middlebury, Vermont, for Garrison to speak there. Weld quotes from the letter stating that the proceeds of the lecture will be "devoted to run Freedmen's schools at Society Hill South Carolina." Weld asks Garrison to give his reply before he sends his own response and then welcomes Garrison back to the United States from Europe, saying "we have followed you step by step in the Old World, exulting in the spontaneous ovation that everywhere outburst around you".
