Letter from George Thompson, London, [England], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1863 Mar[ch] 16

George Thompson writes to William Lloyd Garrison about his upcoming antislavery meetings and one in particular to which he "attach[es] great importance to the demonstration". He also thanks Garrison for a photo of his son, Wendell Phillips Garrison, and asks him for his opinions of C.W. Denison. Thompson says he "do[es] not desire to be better acquainted him" and asks Garrison "in what estimation is he held by you & our common friends" as well as his connections to the U.S. government and the American Anti-Slavery Society.
