Title:
Letter from Parker Pillsbury, Concord, N.H., to William Lloyd Garrison, June 8 1858
Description:
Parker Pillsbury informs William Lloyd Garrison that their friends in New Hampshire remain "sadly disappointed" concerning the "Convention on which they had calculated", and proposes, in its stead, that they should invite Garrison to "give them a Sunday" as soon as Garrison may do so. Pillsbury assures Garrison that a "Sabbath Day's work" would be "most satisfactory" to all involved. Pillsbury states his hopes that Mr. May has recovered from his ill-health, and requests that Garrison inform May that his meeting the previous week was a success in spite of a wagon accident immediately following.
