Letter from Ebenezer Davies, 17 Thornhill Crescent, London, N, to William Lloyd Garrison, July 17, 1867

Ebenezer Davies is anxious to express his gratitude for a kindness shown to him by William Lloyd Garrison twenty years ago. Davies offers his hospitality. Davies explains: "I defended you, in my humble way, when nearly all men 'reviled' you. Oh what felicity it would be to have you for a little time under my roof." Davies writes: "I enclose a slip that may help to bring me to your recollection."
