<dl><dd>Handwritten copy of letter; not William Lloyd Garrison's handwriting. Whereabouts of original manuscript unknown</dd>
<dd>William Lloyd Garrison thanks Alfred H. Love for welcoming him home. Garrison discusses his trip to Europe. Owing to the severity of the weather and his inability to endure much fatigue and exposure, Garrison doubts he can attend meetings called to promote "Peace, Equal Rights, Temperance," etc. Garrison is again thinking of writing a history of the anti-slavery cause. He stresses the importance of the freedmen's cause. He was shocked at seeing Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony "travelling about the country with that harlequin and semi-lunatic George Francis Train, in advocacy of Woman's Rights---denouncing Republicanism and lauding Copperheadism, and assailing Henry Ward Beecher and Wendell Phillips as no longer true to that cause. They seem to have taken leave of common sense."</dd></dl><br>Subjects: Garrison, William Lloyd, 1805-1879; Love, Alfred H. (Alfred Harry), 1830-1913; Anthony, Susan B.
