Title:
Letter from Daniel S. Whitney, Southboro[ugh, Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, [18]73 Mar[ch] 28
Description:
D.S. Whitney writes to William Lloyd Garrison "with the greatest satisfaction" after learning that Garrison was requested to undertake "more labor for the good of the world." Whitney identifies himself as "one of the grizzly rank & file of the old Anti-Slavery guard" and remarks that as a reader of the Liberator, he cannot "remember a single position taken or rebuke administered during the war or since that did not recieve my hearty amen." He then comments on the current state of the temperance movement and says, "At one time it was as rare to find a Liberator man that wasn't a teetotaller as to find a white crow."
