"Holograph, signed. William Lloyd Garrison wants a character reference for a colored orphan boy named John brought to Boston by George (Thompson Garrison?). S. Waterhouse of Ellsworth, Maine, wants to hire the boy. Garrison wants to verify S. Waterhouse's character before sending the lad to him. Garrison's trip to Vergennes, Vermont, was pleasant; he received three \"rousing cheers at the conclusion\" of his address. After the meeting, Garrison was entertained by Rowland T. Robinson of Ferrisburgh, Vermont. Garrison mentions his projected western lecture tour and the opening meeting of the National Freedmen's Aid Commission. Garrison writes: \"If the rebel States, 'reconstructed' so as to leave the colored people at the mercy of the savage whites, are suddenly admitted into the Union, there will assuredly be a terrible state of affairs, perhaps leading to a war of extermination.\""
