{"value"=>"<p>Edward Kyllmann was a cotton merchant of German descent who lived in Manchester, England. Both Kyllmann and his wife Mathilda were involved in abolition work and the women's suffrage movement. Mathilda sat as treasurer of the Manchester Society for Women's Suffrage. Letters to Kyllmann are from various members of the Garrison family and give news on family matters and political activities. The bulk of the letters, including three typescripts, are from William Lloyd Garrison, Jr. who wrote often and affectionately. His letters are primarily about family matters, but also discuss politics and the effects the Panic of 1893 on the American economy. Often mentioned are friends Joseph Simpson and the Steinthals, the family of Unitarian minister S. Alfred Steinthal. Also included is one letter to Helen Villard written by Edward and Mathilda Kyllmann. Their son, Otto Kyllmann, was the a senior partner of the publishing firm, Constable & Co. Letters to him are three in number, two from Frank Jackson Garrison and one from Oswald Garrison Villard concerning Villard's book Inside Germany, published by Constable & Co., and Villard's lunch with Franklin Delano Roosevelt.</p>"}
