Description: Mary Grew writes to Helen Garrison stating her gladness that William Lloyd Garrison "looks so hopefully on the slave's future", and expresses her belief that full abolition will soon be at hand, with the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia and the Territories already effected, the recognition of Haiti and Liberia, and the order to halt all rendition of fugitive slaves. Grew states that she places her trust not in Lincoln but in the people, declaring that they have awakened to the reality that the "safety of the republic requires the curbing of the slave power." Grew closes with her regrets concerning the resignation of James Miller M'Kim from the American Anti-Slavery Society.
