Letter from George Thompson, Claughton, Birkenhead, England, to William Lloyd Garrison, 1869 Oct[ober] 23

George Thompson writes to William Lloyd Garrison after returning from the Isle of Man and just before leaving for Manchester "to spend tomorrow with our dear friend T[homas] H[olliday] Barker". He tells Garrison that he is "too much affected by the receipt of your letter to write much now" and will write him more later. He also sends Garrison a photo of his daughter, Louisa, and shares news of his family, mentioning that he is considering moving to Harrogate, England.
