"Holograph, signed. The bundle of newspapers sent by way of David Lee Child were not received by William Lloyd Garrison. Garrison comments on the housekeeping abilities of Henry Egbert Benson and Isaac Knapp. Garrison regrets George Thompson's decision to visit Plymouth. Public addresses are often risky, but publications are profitable to the cause. Garrison writes: \"By the bye, Bostonians have a strong patriotic attachment for Faneuil Hall; and we shall raise a blush of shame upon their cheeks, ere long, by dwelling continually upon the disgrace which has been cast upon it by a pro-slavery meeting.\" Garrison praises Samuel Joseph May, who has recently recovered from an illness. There was no meeting in Promfret, but a group of six people had a talk by the steps of the meetinghouse. Charles Burleigh talked at length to a young slaveholder who came to Promfret to hear William Lloyd Garrison. Garrison asks if brother James (Holley Garrison) has sailed from Boston."
