notes: "Holograph, signed. William Lloyd Garrison and Henry C. Wright arrived in Philadelphia on Thursday; John G. Whittier and the Rev. Mr. & Mrs. Root were with them.They stayed with Edward Needles, a Quaker. Garrison saw the newly erected Pennsylvania Hall. Garrison and Wright visited the Grimkes; Garrison is afraid that Angelina Grimke will be influenced by Theodore Dwight Weld's sectarianism after she marries Weld. Garrison discusses his beliefs on religion. He gives a humorous description of John Gurney, \"a distinguished orthodox Friend from England.\" While Alvan Stewart and other abolitionist friends were traveling by steamboat from Bordentown to Philadelphia, they held a discussion on slavery in a cabin. The captain broke up the meeting because slaveholders were shouting to throw the abolitionists overboard. The Quakers, including John Greenleaf Whittier, are unable to attend the wedding of Angelina Grimke and Theodore D. Weld for fear of being excommunicated from the Society of Friends. Even her sister Sarah Grimke \"must be cut off for being with Angelina when married!\""
