Title:
Letter from L.O. Le Favre, Stoneham, [Mass.], to William Lloyd Garrison, March 1. 1874
Description:
Lydia O. Le Favre writes William Lloyd Garrison apologizing for the delay in response to Garrison's previous letter, and thanks Garrison for his "tender sympathy and words of cheer" in relation to the death of Le Favre's aunt [Abigail Newhall]. Le Favre offers her own sympathies for the illness that kept Garrison from attending the funeral, and recounts the affair to Garrison. Le Favre states that, in the two years during which the aunt was rendered an invalid from her illness, she developed the habit of taking a likeness of Garrison to the aunt's bedside, stating that this "invariably gave her so much pleasure." Le Favre makes note of the enormous change in public perception towards the abolitionists, noting the courage it took to adhere to the cause in its early years.
