Letter from Orson S. Murray, Orwell, [Vt.], to William Lloyd Garrison, December 3. 1834

Writing on behalf of the Executive Committee of the Vermont Anti-Slavery Society, Orson S. Murray informs William Lloyd Garrison that while the abolitionist cause advances in Vermont, they remain in need of powerful friends and allies. Murray requests that Garrison visit the Vermont Anti-Slavery Society if possible, and informs Garrison of the society's plans to host an annual meeting in Middlebury "in time to be attended by sleighing". Murray asserts that they would gladly welcome George Thompson in Garrison's stead should the latter find himself indisposed. Murray encloses monies collected from subscribers to the Liberator.
