Moses Brown
Sept 13, 1832
Writing from Providence, Garrison records his visit with abolitionist Moses Brown. “As I came through this city in June, I made a sort visit to the venerable Moses Brown, (the patriarch of Friends,) who is now in his ninety-fifth year. I have just returned from a second visit, highly gratified to find that his health continues good and his intellect clear. He is certainly an extraordinary man, and sustains the heavy weight of almost a century in an extraordinary manner. His interest in all the great philanthropic movements of the age rather increases than suffers diminution — especially in the abolition cause. ” 1
