Title:
Letter from Salem Female Anti-slavery Society, Salem, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1838 January 4
Description:
Writing on behalf of the Salem Female Anti-Slavery Society, Lydia L. Dodge informs William Lloyd Garrison that the Society voted $25 "to aid him as Editor of the Liberator." Dodge explains that the gift is "a token of gratitude" for Garrison's instruction "in the great doctrines of christian abolitionism." She credits the Liberator with teaching that "the whole human family are, at creation, placed on the same platform of essential rights ... [and] these rights are violated by the system of American Slavery."
