"Holograph, signed. Since arriving in Brooklyn, Conn., William Lloyd Garrison has been sick. Garrison writes to Francis Jackson: \"In addition to what you propose sending to our abolition friend Stedman, in reply to his inquiries respecting my religious sentiments and character, I will see to it---Deo volente---that he receives an epistle from me on this subject, which shall testify for itself.\" Garrison wants the current issue of the Liberator and the poem \"True Rest\" to be sent to Jesse Stedman. Garrison's views on the Sabbath are in accord with those held by the Society of Friends. He discards with all human creeds, rites, and ordinances, etc. He equates prayer with doing God's will. Garrison was denounced by a clerical itinerant in Vermont who called Garrison a sabbath breaker and a disturber of peace, etc. Garrison likens the accusations to those made to Jesus."
