Letter from Mary Frisell Manter, Walpole, [Mass.], to William Lloyd Garrison, April 23d. 1842
Description:
Mary Frisell Manter thanks William Lloyd Garrison for his delivery of the Liberator to her, and reports that it has changed her entire life's perspective, asserting that she has "lost entirely" her "prejudice against colour". Manter declares that the Liberator has impelled her to learn more of the "doctrine of Non-Resistance". Manter recounts her and her husband taking in a destitute sailor for a few days, and their efforts at conveying abolitionist and non-resistant beliefs to him.
