Description: William Leneal writes William Lloyd Garrison concerning Harriet Beecher Stowe's proposed visit to Scotland, stating that the invitation was issued by the "new Anti-Slavery Society in Glasgow", and that they propose to cover all of Stowe's costs for the visit as a "testimony of their approval & gratitude to her". Leneal informs Garrison that the "chief object" of the new anti-slavery society in Glasgow is to "withdraw cooperation & assistance" with the American Anti-Slavery Society, especially with regards to to the "Boston annual A.S. Bazaar", and that they intend to align themselves with the New York Vigilance Committee or the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. Leneal proposes that Stowe be appraised of this, as he is uncertain that she is fully aware of the positions taken by the anti-slavery society which has invited her to Scotland.
