Title:
Letter from Alfred Harry Love, Philad[elphi]a, [Pa.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Nov[ember] 4. 1861
Description:
Alfred H. Love offers his hopes that Garrison finds himself refreshed and in good health following his visit to Pennsylvania. Love states that he had wished to attend the convention, but was prevented from doing so due to "business & home matters". Love inquires if Garrison had received the telegraph he issued, stating his suspicion that a pro-slavery or anti-war operator might have "purposely delayed its transmission or delivery". Love warns that they cannot "veer towards the side of the Sword", as they cannot "sanctify a moral cause by immoral means". Love discusses the proposal to establishing branches of the "Mercantile Library" of which he is a director, and requests Garrison furnish him with information concerning the operation and management of such libraries in Boston.
