"Holograph, signed. William Lloyd Garrison will probably visit Providence next Tuesday. Henry Egbert Benson's health is precarious. Charles C. Burleigh visited Garrison; Burleigh has been lecturing diligently. Since he has always been reluctant to speak in public, Garrison begs to be excused from addressing the ladies' meeting in Providence. He comments on Martin Van Buren's letter to North Carolina about slavery in the District of Columbia. Because he wants the Friends' votes, Van Buren distinguishes between the Society of Friends and the abolitionists. Yesterday, Garrison sent a petition from Brooklyn, Conn., for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia to A. T. Judson."
