Letter from Arnold Buffum, Andover, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp
Description:
Arnold Buffum writes to William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp sending them a letter from Lowell to include in the Liberator (the letter appears in the Liberator of October 27, 1832 [Vol. II, no. 43]) and explaining a note in the letter. Buffum details his plans to go to Newburyport and his "hope to meet friend Garrison" there, although he wishes he had a letter of introduction "to some of our friends."
