"Holograph, signed. William Lloyd Garrison heard from Samuel May, Jr., that Theodore Dwight Weld lectured in Syracuse. Garrison forwards an invitation from the Executive Committee to Weld to speak at the approaching anniversary meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Garrison criticizes the conduct of the Civil War. He is not surprised that the Proclamation of Emancipation has had so little effect. He remarks on the prevalence of prejudice against color in the North. Garrison says: \"The mildness of the past winter was any thing but favorable to the general health. As a family, we have had our share of illness.\" Aunt Charlotte Coffin calls to see the Garrison family frequently. She is now at Dix Place and \"'as usual' assisting wife in the most indefatigable and disinterested manner, making her presence not only always most agreeable, but in every possible way truly serviceable.\" Garrison praises George Thompson's efforts on behalf of the anti-slavery cause in England."
