"Holograph, signed. William Lloyd Garrison regrets that bodily pain prevents him from attending the commemorative meeting (of the emancipation of slaves in the British West Indies). He meditates on the deliverance of 800,000 slaves from bondage and British philanthropy's defiance of throne, parliament, and West Indian planters. Garrison quotes a verse of poetry."
