"Holograph, signed. Although he was struck by a stone and a brickbat, Frederick Douglass was not seriously injured in Harrisburg. On Sunday, they spoke in a meetinghouse to colored friends. William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass traveled separately to Pittsburgh. Garrison exclaims: \"It seemed to me almost interminable---almost equal to a trip across the Atlantic. Douglass was not allowed to sit at the eating table, on the way, and for two days and nights scarcely tasted a morsel of food. O, what brutality! Only think of it, and then of the splendid reception given to him in all parts of Great Britain!\" Garrison arrived exhausted from his journey. The meetings were crowded. They held three meetings yesterday. Garrison comments about the meetings: \"The place seems to be electrified, and the hearts of many are leaping for joy.\" This morning they are off for New Brighton, where they will have more meetings."
