Item Information

Title:
Letter from Samuel Philbrick, Boston, [Mass.], to William Lloyd Garrison, July 12th [1849]
Description:
Samuel Philbrick informs William Lloyd Garrison that he has made arrangements with Roger Folger Wallcut to have the sum of $150 transfered to Garrison, with the promise of an additional $100 at the end of the month. Philbrick expresses his hopes that this amount will "relieve [Garrison] from all embarrassment", and obviate the need for Garrison to making use of his trust fund, which Philbrick cautions to leave aside in case of illness. Philbrick notes that the finances of the Liberator will be heavily strained by increased costs in printing and paper, and inquires if Garrison might "curtail [Garrison's] engagements" so as to reduce expenses.
