"Holograph, signed. Henry Egbert Benson is ill. William Lloyd Garrison accompanied Henry E. Benson via Worcester to Brooklyn, Conn. William Goodell spoke very well before the legislative committee and was therefore insulted by the chairman more than any of the others, even including Dr. Charles Follen. The memorial was tabled by the Senate. In the House, Samuel Hurd Walley moved against receiving it, but he was overruled and castigated in the debate. George Blake and others defended the rights of the abolitionists. Gilbert H. Durfee is proud \"to acknowledge himself as one of the proscribed abolitionists, and he thanked God that he stood where he could vindicate his own rights and the rights of others.\" The memorial was referred to a committee, and there was a debate on it on the following day."
