William Lloyd Garrison's journey across the Atlantic Ocean in the steamship Acadia was an unprecedented twelve days. He is glad to hear of his brother James Holley Garrison's improvement in health. William L. Garrison, along with his wife and baby and probably friend Johnson, will visit George William Benson.
