Description: Hovey writes to Garrison informing him of his intent to field a "campaign paper" devoted to the "cause of prohibition within the limits of this Commonwealth". Hovey proposes to adopt the title "The Liberator", drawing parallels between Garrison's work as an abolitionist to his proposed work as a temperance reformer. Hovey closes by requesting that Garrison provide a "leader" for the first issue of the proposed paper.
