In this letter to William Lloyd Garrison, James Terrell states that an anti-slavery meeting is to be held at his home and he should "endeavor to see you or Mr. Thompson and ascertain what are definite objects to which we should direct our attention and whether we should send a number of the reports of the meeting to America".
