Letter from Alexander Grant, Montreal, [Quebec], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1834 Aug[us]t 25th
Description:
Alexander Grant writes to William Lloyd Garrison sending him a Montreal newspaper containing an address he delivered, saying it was his "duty to make [the address] on the noble occasion to which it alludes." He tells Garrison that if he "approve[s] of the Sentiments" in his address he can publish it in the Liberator.
