Holograph, signed
Title devised by cataloger
Manuscript addressed from Hayworth School, Jeff Co Tenn"
Yardley Warner recounts his introduction to the "Emancipation movement" as a boy, and confides to Garrison that his "first real prayer" was delivered for the "poor slave". Warner remembers how, in those days, the "pioneer Truth Dealers" were Benjamin Lundy and Garrison himself, and recollects how Lundy and Garrison used to visit his uncle Joseph in Bristol, Conneticut. Warner states his "intense interest" in revisiting the "early history of this great moral and civil reform", and inquiries when and why Lundy went to Baltimore, and the specifics of he and Garrison's working partnership with the Genius of Universal Emancipation. Warner additionally inquiries of the origins of the Liberator. Warner closes by inquiring the origins of the famous anti-slavery image of a kneeling slave captioned "Am I not a man and a brother?", and expresses his wish to "by any means" secure the original image, or a first edition of the picture
