"Holograph, signed with initials. In Harrisburg, William Lloyd Garrison enjoyed the hospitality of Dr. Rutherford and his wife. At the meeting that evening there was a small turnout of only 25 people due to the fact that it was the night before the election. Nevertheless, Garrison gave a speech that lasted an hour and a half. He had a hoarse throat at the start of the speech and now fears being voiceless at the Salem anniversary meeting. Garrison describes Altoona and the region. Garrison leaves for Pittsburgh in a few minutes not knowing if meetings have been arranged for him in Pittsburgh and Alleghany. Yesterday, it rained all day and was gloomy."
