"Holograph, signed. Since today is the anniversary of his wedding, William Lloyd Garrison dwells on his marital happiness. He did not marry expecting his wife to assume a prominent role in the anti-slavery cause. Instead, he looked for domestic peace and happiness. The meditation on marriage leads him to the execration of slavery. He is not sure that calling a national convention was expedient. George Thompson and Arthur Tappan are in danger. There is a reward of $20,000 offered for Arthur Tappan in New Orleans. There was a warning in a letter telling of a $20,000 reward being offered by six Mississippians for William L. Garrison. Garrison commends Henry B. Stanton's success."
