"Holograph, signed. William Lloyd Garrison says the wedding cake sent from Salem was a gift from Susan, the sister of Mrs. Putnam. He tells about a meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society, which he didn't attend. Garrison argued for the dissolution of Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society at the annual meeting; Wendell Phillips successfully opposed the dissolution of the Society. Garrison elaborates: \"The vote in favor of discontinuring the Society was only about one to three, and Mr. Phillips succeeded in carrying his point. He outfaced Mr. Seward and the nation in plumply denying that slavery was abolished; and said that, if it were so, we could not tell how soon it might be re-established; ergo, the necessity for continuring the Society! Of course, as the whole thing is a farce, I care nothing for it.\" Garrison hopes to visit Fanny Garrison Villard in Washington in February."
