"Holograph, signed. William Lloyd Garrison injured his leg jumping from a garden wall and striking it on a sharp stump. The wound is more painful, and Garrison has been lying in bed all day. Garrison comments on the discussion between George Thompson and Robert J. Breckinridge that was printed in the Emancipator. Garrison's views on the Sabbath, as presented in his review of Dr. Lyman Beecher's speech in Pittsburgh, have received adverse comment. Garrison regrets printing \"The New and Old Puritans\" by William Oakes realizing that a discussion of the Sabbath question was not proper in the Liberator. He was grieved by a letter by Rev. Jonathan Farr protesting against Garrison's view of the Sabbath. Farr cites authorities supporting his own views. Samuel Joseph May was grieved by Farr's letter."
