PILLSBURY, Parker (1809 - 1898) was an American minister and advocate for Abolition and Women's Rights. He did applaud both Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and defended the actions of John Brown after the raid on Harpers Ferry. Autograph Letter Signed, "Parker Pillsbury," on lined, fine-laid paper, Concord, NH, March 28, 1886, affixed to a Printed Speech by Pillsbury, titled "The Destiny of the Nation," given before an Anti-Slavery gathering in 1847, measuring 8" x 5" with 6 pages. Here, Pillsbury thanks a friend for sending him a book that he had long sought. He concludes with mention of his previous struggle against Slavery: "I will mail you with this, some of our old testimonies against the Church and Clergy of the Anti Slavery times… P.S. - At the opening of our Rebellion, I procured a ream of paper and had it printed as is this sheet and used it during the war, for correspondence. Lately, I procured & prepared another ream in the same manner. As you see." Very good condition.
