Letter from Robert Kinnicutt, Warren, [R.I.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Dec[ember] 3, 1859
Description:
Robert Kinnicutt writes William Lloyd Garrison expressing his sorrow for the fate of John Brown, stating that he could scarcely believe that the "principle of liberty was hung in the person of John Brown", and expresses his hopes that it will cause "millions that have hitherto been dead to a principle" to "actively fight the great demon of inhumanity to man Human Slavery". Kinnicutt states his desire to prolong his subscription to the Liberator by an additional six months. Kinnicutt requests that Garrison, if he is able, provide him with a copy of the speech delivered in Boston on the Fourth of July by Charles Sumner, as well as a copy of Theodore Parker's last sermon. Kinnicutt states his pleasure at the return of Charles Sumner to the Senate.
