Title:
Letter from Fred A. Palmer, [New York, N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Feb[ruary] 2d [18]79
Description:
Fred A. Palmer writes William Lloyd Garrison that his letters to Mrs. Palmer "upon a subject of such vital interest" have compelled him to seek the "great pleasure" of making Garrison's "personal acquaintance". Palmer laments to Garrison the "painful facts of the day" in the proliferation of political corruption and cronyism. Palmer proclaims to Garrison that he feels "honored" by the interest displayed by Garrison in him and Mrs. Palmer, and informs Garrison that the latter will write to him shortly.
