Title:
Letter from William Francis Channing, Providence, R.I., to Lucy Stone, Oct[ober] 21 - 1878
Description:
William Francis Channing sends his thanks to Lucy Stone for her invitation to the "Garrison greeting", but states that it is not possible for he and his wife to attend. Channing writes that the city of Boston should "indeed show honor" to Garrison, and marvels at how "wonderful the contrast" between the present public opinion of Garrison and that of the earliest days of the antislavery movement, and labels Garrison's life a lesson in "faith, hope & courage". Channing offers his regrets at being unable to attend the suffrage convention when Stone was in Providence, and states that the Woman's Congress did a "great enlightening work".
