"Holograph, signed. William Lloyd Garrison describes his train journey and the temperature reaching up to ninety degrees. Upon arrival, Garrison went to see George William Benson. Benson had been suffering from neuralgia but is better now. Garrison gives an account of the Benson family and their financial problems. The weather changed from heat to a cold and dismal rainstorm. The anniversary meeting was \"respectably attended\" despite the weather. All the meetings were \"interesting and high-toned.\" Among the speakers were Samuel Longfellow and George Rapall Noyes. Last night's meeting was very large. Dr. George Barrell Cheever was in the audience. Wendell Phillips made a great effort at the meeting. Today, the women are having their convention. Garrison's health is better than expected."
