[Letter from Horatio Alger, Sr. to Rev. Stephen A. Barnard, Willsboro, Essex Co., N.Y.] 1855 Aug. 20.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/42661554

In his letter, posted from Marlborough, Mass., Mr. Alger mentions a trip he made to New York with Horatio Alger, Jr., writes about seeing H. Ward Beecher speak in Brooklyn, N.Y. and about Horatio Alger Jr.'s teaching job in Greenwich, R.I. He writes that he is becoming more and more an Abolitionist and of the "unmitigated scoundrelism of the Slave Power". He also writes about his other children and his wife, relatives of Rev. Barnard's and other mutual acquaintances, and life in Marlborough, Mass. He chides Rev. Barnard for his provokingly short letter.
