Manuscript comprises two letters by Miller, the first dated 16th Februrary, 1832, addressed to "Messrs Garrison & Knapp", and a second, dated 15th February, 1832, addressed to William Lloyd Garrison
Manuscript is addressed to "Messrs. Garrison & Knapp, No. 11 Merchants Hall, Upstairs, Boston, Mass."
Lester Anson Miller writes William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp to send them the sum of $2 in way of payment for his subscription to the Liberator. In a second letter addressed solely to Garrison, Miller enthusiastically praises the Liberator, and informs Garrison of his efforts to sell subscriptions to the newspaper. Miller states that he has encountered a lack of interest and apathy, and reports that one man, named William Masters, went so far as to declare to him that "negroes were an inferior race of beings", to which Miller reports his indignation. Miller includes a sonnet and an acrostic in his letter to Garrison
