Item Information

Title:
Letter from Susan Paul, Boston, [Mass.], to William Lloyd Garrison, April 1, 1834
Description:
Susan Paul relates to William Lloyd Garrison that the account published in the Liberator of the racial prejudice she experienced in the form of the "uncivil treatment we received from the drivers of the coaches provided to carry us to Salem", was followed by their having secured other means of transit, which proved "very accomodating" in comparison. Paul adds that she has learned since that the operators of the carriage which relayed them to Salem would later agree to attend a funeral of a "very respectable person" only to refused to attend upon learning that the deceased was "colored".. Paul praises the hospitality of Charles Lenox Remond, and expresses her gratitude for the kindess displayed by Reverend Cyrus Pitt Grosvenor
