Title:
Letter from Lewis Tappan, New York, [New York], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1836 Feb[ruary] 25
Description:
Lewis Tappan writes to William Lloyd Garrison telling him that "Israel Lewis has sued my brother [Arthur Tappan], 1. for Slander, and 2. for money in his hands when suit was commenced on note of Israel Lewis & Nath[anie]l Paul." Tappan asks Garrison questions about the money Paul sent to Garrison while he was in England and summarizes his view of the case. He then states that Thedore Dwight Weld "has delivered 9 lectures at Utica to a crowded house" and it is reported that "many converts are made." He also comments on Garrison's remarks about Gerrit Smith, noting "We ought to deal kindly with such a man as Mr. Smith, but until he confesses his faults he ought to be rebuked publicly." Tappan also congratulates Garrison "on the birth of an heir!" [his first child, George Thompson Garrison].
