Title:
Letter from Nathaniel Peabody Rogers, Plym[outh, New Hampshire], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1837 Sept[ember] 4
Description:
Nathaniel Peabody Rogers writes to William Lloyd Garrison telling him that he must attend the Grafton County Anti-Slavery Society meeting scheduled to take place at Lyme on September 27th. He encourages Garrison to bring with him either Henry Brewster Stanton or Charles Calistus Burleigh, or "somebody of their stamp." Rogers asserts the importance of Grafton County to the abolition cause, saying it would "be the Macedonian Phalanx in your enterprise that would carry your Banner & plant it on the towers of your District of Columbia or wherever American Slavery holds his bloody headquarters." He insists that it is important Garrison come as he has never been in New Hampshire and people have the mistaken impression that he "is a sort of moral Rob Roy that carries a broad sword ..."
