"Holograph, signed. William Lloyd Garrison compares Pittsburgh to a British manufacturing town. They travelled to New Brighton with Dr. Martin R. Delaney and other colored companions. They were welcomed by Milo A. Townsend, a true reformer. Though exposed to numerous anti-slavery lecturers, New Brighton remains generally incorrigible. No place could be obtained for the meeting, except the upper room of a store. The poetess Sara Jane Clarke Lippincott (best known by the pseudonym Grace Greenwood) was at the meeting; Garrison called on her parents---Mrs. Clarke knew the Benson family in Brooklyn, Conn. The weather was exceedingly warm. Garrison travelled with Frederick Douglass to Youngstown in a canal boat. They stayed at the Mansion House, a \"rum tavern\" whose landlord is friendly to the abolitionist cause. Frederick Douglass was exhausted and voiceless and fears he has a swelling of the tonsils. Today, Garrison leaves for New Lyme."
