Wendell Phillips writes: "When W.L.G. [William Lloyd Garrison] wrote his good letter to Howe and his Comm[ittee] though I rejoiced that he did it, yet the reasoning did not so fully convince me as to make me follow his example. I could not quite see & feel his argument. I have just read Howe's insolent letter in the Lib[erator] & it is borne in upon me to write to Stone thus." [Regarding the date of this letter: Garrison wrote to Samuel G. Howe on Nov. 12, 1855 to decline the invitation to speak because Howe had also invited pro-slavery speakers. Howe's reply was probably printed in the Liberator at the end of November or early Dec. at the latest.]
