Letter from Elias Richards, Weymouth, [Mass.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Feb[ruary] 13 1868

Elias Richards forwards to William Lloyd Garrison a copy of the "Weymouth Gazette" containing an "unmanly" article which Richards likens to the dishonesty and shoddy principles of the pro-slavery newspapers in which the abolitionists and their cause were slandered and condemned.
