Item Information

Title:
Letter from Amélie Humbert, London [England], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1876 June 7th
Description:
Writing on behalf of Josephine Butler (whose work and fatigue had left her unable to respond to Garrison's previous letter, Humbert gives news of the first annual meeting of the Federation, and its fundraising efforts. Humbert sends Butler's sympathies on the news of the death of Mrs. Garrison, and makes particular note of her impression of the speech given by "S. Maye" at the funeral. In closing, Humbert shares a brief word on her distaste for the positions taken by John Bright in relation to Butler's work, a path which she states Butler attributes to the influence of Bright's wife.
