William Lloyd Garrison is glad to hear that the Villards are coming to visit him. William Lloyd Garrison has a bad cold and "the same difficulty of breathing your mother had." He lists the invitations he has received for tea. He saw Edwin Booth in Richelieu at the Boston Theatre. He went to Newburyport to do further research on the date of his birth. Anne Whitney, the sculptress, is doing a bust of him.
