William Lloyd Garrison writes this letter in the house they must abandon. Garrison was given a kind, sympathetic, and joyful reception by friends. An anonymous donor gave Garrison forty-five dollars. He describes the night spent at home and the breakfast with Isaac Knapp, Henry Benson, and Charles C. Burleigh. He tells of a conversation with Christina (a servant). Garrison was unmolested on the street and was even proposed for the legislature. There was a procession with George Thompson and a black woman in effigy. Samuel Joseph May is laboring in Vermont. Thompson will return to England. The Misses Weston will provide storage for Garrison's furniture.
