Letter from Aaron Macy Powell, Ghent, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Sept[ember] 7. 1862

1862

Aaron Macy Powell informs William Lloyd Garrison that he and his family have enjoyed Fanny Garrison's visit, and writes that she bears characteristics of both of her parents. Powell writes that Fanny shares Garrison's "cheerfulness and buoyancy of sprit", as well as his committment to human rights. Powell notes that Helen Garrison is the only member of the Garrison family who has yet to pay them a visit, and states his hopes that they shall be able to host her in the future. Concerning the Civil War, Powell notes that the "severest penalties of the law of retribution" appear to be the operating principles of the Lincoln Administration, and describes Lincoln's reinstatement of General McClellan's command "after his murderous sacrifices of the past year" to constitute "high-handed treason". Powell writes that a letter from William Lloyd Garrison, Jr. stated that neither he nor his brother Wendell would comply with a conscription notice to enter the Union army should they receive one. Powell asserts that he himself would decline such a notice on "the issues of non-resistance and anti-slavery", and opines that the "bitter fruits of the Constitutikonal covenant with death and Slavery" are coming into fruition.

Letter from Abner Sanger, Danvers, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1840 March 4

1840

In this letter to William Lloyd Garrison, Abner Sanger offers Garrison this letter publish if he believes "it will have an influence to better the cause of Anti-Slavery" and promising that "nothing is stated different from the exact truth though perhaps not in the precise language used." He then repeats a statment made by Daniel Wise about "the evil tendencies of the nonresistance doctrines," claiming that Garrison had once approved of the writings of "a man from from Putney, Vermont" [John Humphrey Noyes] and now "the same person ... had written something in a newspaper carrying out the non-resistance doctrines to the alarming consequences intimated by him." This included, "a promiscuous cohabitation of the sexes, which he stated as near he as could recollect, thus: that one man had no more exclusive rioghts to one woman, than, when a number sat together at their dinner, consisting of different dishes, one man had an exclusive right to the whole of one dish." Sanger questions if Garrison approves of these views and invites him for a visit to explain.

Letter from Alvan Ward, Ashburnham, [Massachusetts], to Maria Weston Chapman, [1840] July 23

1840

Alvard Ward writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to requesting Maria's presence in Ashburnham to "give us something that will start us right on the subject of Anti Slavery." Most of those who have professed themselves as anti-slavery people have gone over to "C.T. Torrey, who as you very well know has figured very high in his own favour since the Winter of 1838." The female societies in the town "run very low," mainly because of the "confounded woman question." He wishes to have said something in regard to the merits of the Golden Rule association. He would like something to be said on non-resistance and he reflects the inconsistency of professed Christians toward the principle.

Letter from Augustus William Hanson to William Lloyd Garrison, 1838 November 3rd

1838

Augustus William Hanson writes to William Lloyd Garrison asking for his views "respecting the doctrine of 'no Civil Government.'" He apologizes for not following Garrison's advice and states his own views of self-defense, asserting that "the sin consists not merely in the application of physical force - but in the application thereof with a bad motive to gain a certain end at all hazard." He justifies his appeal "to the strong arm of the law for protection," arguing he was trying to save his own life and prevent a crime from occurring. Hanson then asks Garrison why he was "shut out of the proceedings of the two last Anti-Slavery Conventions," and challenges Wendell Phillips' claim that the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society does not recommend periodicals published outside of New England. Hanson also notes that his name had been left off the list of attendees published in the Liberator and that he was also not included in the published proceedings of one of the conventions. He tells Garrison it he will if he will "permit me one hour's interview wherever it may suit your convenience you will exceedingly oblige."

Letter from Charles Simmons, Pawtucket, [Rhode Island], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1838 Oct[ober] 12

1838

Charles Simmons writes to William Lloyd Garrison sending him the "the first draft of a bible argument on the subject of non-resistance." Simmons asks Garrison to review it, along with other members of the Executive Committee of the New England Non-Resistance Society, and determine "whether or not it has any strength & pertinence, & is worth publication." He also says he would like to add his name to the Declaration of Sentiments of the Society but he wishes first to consider whether he will be "able to bear so much present reproach & future honor as will be the inheritance of those who sign it." Simmons then reports that he is ending his ministry at Hebronville and he is unsure if he will be able "to obtain another settlement as a preacher in this region of clerical domination."

Letter from Charlotte Austin, Nantucket, [Massachusetts], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1839 [November] 7

1839

Charlotte Austin writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to receiving Maria's bag-tops, which proved to be too expensive. She writes that they shall not purchase any silks, as her society's funds are all appropriated, and work for the (Boston anti-slavery fair) is nearly accomplished. She says they will forward their articles in a few weeks. In a postscript, Austin writes of Orestes Augustus Brownson, who is with them "astonishing the people with his 'Horrible Doctrines.'" He delivered a sermon which embodied all the principles of abolition, non-resistance, and all the altruisms of the days, as well as his attempt to identify the "so called Democratic party with the principles of true Democracy and Christianity." George Bradburn is a candidate for representative.

Letter from David J. Mandell, Athol Depot, Mass., to William Lloyd Garrison, Dec[ember] 3, 1860

1860

David J. Mandell writes William Lloyd Garrison informing him that the "Appeal and Protest" he authored and which was subsequently published in the Liberator was one of many in which he advocates the "pacificatory agitation of the Slavery question", and which points to the disaster which would ensue were this "right and principle" to be disregarded. Mandell expresses his wish to send a copy of his Appeal to "each and every member of Congress", and requests that Garrison might consider providing him with the necessary means to ensure this publication and distribution.

Letter from Edmund Quincy, Beacon St[reet, Boston, Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1838 Sept[ember] 21

1838

Edmund Quincy writes to William Lloyd Garrison explaining his objections to signing the Declaration of Sentiments and the Constitution of the New England Non-Resistance Society. Quincy does not approve of the documents' "renunciation of civil government ... & of every thing connected with it" arguing that "certain things originating in Gov[ernmen]t & sanctioned by it" are "innocent." He provides the example of money, "which is a promise of a cooperation created by gov[ernmen]t dependeing upon it & enforced by it by physical power in the last resort." Quincy asserts that he "cannot believe that every mortgage, deed, lease, contract, bond &c &c &c is necessarily a sinful recognition of the mankillers." He tells Garrison that he could not sign the Declaration of Sentiments and Constitution as he considered the "sentiments & p[rinci]ples to which I should subscribe were not my sentiments." He suggests if the language in each could be changed he would then sign them, but if not, Garrison still "will have my heart & prayer with you & all that I can do by word or deed to assist you in your heavenly work."

Letter from Elizabeth Pease Nichol to Maria Weston Chapman, 1841 Jan[uary] 5

1841

Elizabeth Pease Nichol writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to asking her to execute some small commissions for her, among these the presenting of a sum to the non-resistant society as a "trifling proof of my interest in it, & best wishes for its success." She wishes Joshua Leavitt to discontinue sending the "Emancipator" as it is "so political & so uninteresting that I shall not be sorry to lose it."

Letter from Elizabeth Pease Nichol to William Lloyd Garrison, [1840]

1840

Elizabeth Pease Nichol writes to William Lloyd Garrison sending him "the enclosed letter from M. V. Ball, in the hope that" Garrison can explain why "our Non-Resistant friends" make their beliefs "part & parcel of their abolition." She argues than no man has the "right of exercising such an authority over the consciences of others" and discusses her views of the connection between non-resistance and abolitionism. Nichol then asks Garrison about "the precise nature & grounds of the unhappy divisions which have arisen amongst American Abolitionists". In the postscript, she comments on an article in the Massachusetts Abolitionist of December 1, 1839, noting that "the Non-Resistants are charged with 'resisting the progress of Anti-Slaveyr opinion with all their might.'"

Letter from Elizabeth Pease Nichol, London, [England], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1840 July 17

1840

Elizabeth Pease Nichol writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to eulogizing Garrison and calls him and Nathaniel Peabody Rogers "twin brothers in worth & excellence & true abolitionism." The "Wendell Phillps's" have been the writer's near neighbors and seemed like old, dear friends. Isaac Winslow, his daughter and niece, and the Phillipses have gone to to the continent, Garrison and Rogers have accompanied George Thompson to Scotland where they will breathe a "more free & genial atmosphere." Thompson's health is improving and she hopes that "there is a prospect of prosecuting the British India cause with far more energy & effect than it has yet been." She refers to the "musky mists of prejudice" in London, and to "the spirit of exclusion manifested towards those noble women" (delegates of the World Convention)." She emphasizes that one must look to British India to influence the slaveholder. She considers it fortunate that the British India Society has engaged the services of Professor William Adam. She thanks Maria and the other abolitionist friends for the gift presented to Emily Winslow. A box of anti-slavery china has been forwarded for the approaching fair.
