In this letter to William Lloyd Garrison, John and Elizabeth Mawson write that they have returned home and "find all well." They say that they "spent a most pleasant afternoon with our dear old friend [George] Thompson" and though they would like to see Garrison at the breakfast, they know he has many friends to visit "and, as we had really had a good share of your precious company we must not be too greedy." The Mawson's wish Garrison a safe voyage back to the United States, saying, "May great peace, and great joy, and all Heaven's richest blessings rest upon yourself and all your dear friends."
