Title:
Letter from Alfred Harry Love, Philad[elphia]a, [Pa.], to William Lloyd Garrison, [December] 24, 1865
Description:
Alfred Love offers his "[c]ongratulations & benedictions" to William Lloyd Garrison on the occasion of the ratification of the "Emancipation Amendment", and comments on the "remarkable coincidence" that the Thirteenth Amendment should be ratified at the same time as the publication of the valedictory issue of the Liberator. Love offers his belief that the American Anti-Slavery Society should rename itself the "American Equal Rights Society" and labor with "redoubled and united effort" to ensure the freedom of all regardless of "color, sex, or other iniquitous distinction".
