Title:
Letter from George Allen, Shrewsbury, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1838 June 11
Description:
George Allen writes to William Lloyd Garrison declining an invitation extended by the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society to speak on the Fourth of July. Allen says he has another "public engagement for that day, and one which will not require the same effort which would be demanded of one at Marlboro' Chapel." He thanks Garrison and the Board for their "token of regard" and assures them of his "very grateful sense of the services which ... you have rendered to the cause of the oppressed and helpless and to the common interests of humanity."
