Title:
Letter from William James Linton, Coniston, [England], to William Lloyd Garrison, Nov[ember] 5, 1853
Description:
W.J. Linton addresses William Lloyd Garrison staing that he has had the opportunity to read copies of the correspondance between Garrison and Harriet Martineau concerning George Jacob Holyoake, and asserts his position that "some atheistic leanings may have warped her judgment". Linton rejects Martineau's distinction between atheism and secularism, and declares that he can not recollect a time in which Holyoake ever condemned American slavery.
