description

Summary

George Thompson writes to William Lloyd Garrison telling him about his lectures in New York state, including Elmira, Syracuse, Auburn, and Rochester. He discusses his stay with Samuel Joseph May stating, "What a privilege to be the guest of such a man, to be the witness of his domestic virtues .." Thompson also tells Garrison that he and May read "the President's [Abraham Lincoln] letter of the 4th last to A[lbert]. G. Hodges, Esq, of Kentucky. We think it a remarkably clear & satisfactory expression of his acts & policy on the question of slavery." Thompson continues, "It is essentially what he said to me when he gave me an interview at Washington on the 7th." Before ending the letter, he expresses his hope to see Garrison in New York "not later than the 9th of May" to discuss his "future movements."
