Title:
Letter from Thomas Phillips, [London, England], to William Lloyd Garrison, July 15th 1867
Description:
Thomas Phillips writes William Lloyd Garrison stating that his colleagues in London had thought it a poor time for him to travel to Newcastle, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. Phillips informs Garrison that Andrew Paton and William Smeal have both advised against fundraising in Glasgow for the present, and opines that November would be a preferable time to undertake this endeavor. Phillips proclaims that the London union and the "Birmingham and Midland" branch of the National Freedmen's-Aid Union of Great Britain and Ireland have decided to combine to celebrate their anniversaries together, and informs Garrison that the sooner they hear word from him concerning which date would be preferable for him to join them, the more quickly they will be able to make the necessary arrangements for the anniverary. Phillips inquires of Garrison the duration for which he intends to remain in London, as well as which meetings he desires to attend while there.
