  <mods:note>William Lloyd Garrison is uncertain whether he will be able to visit George William Benson this summer due to Helen Garrison's health. Anna Elizabeth Benson has been in Providence. Sarah Thurber Benson left yesterday to spend the rest of the summer in Providence. William Lloyd Garrison saw Erasmus Hudson on his return from Maine, where he made a stir with "his anti-slavery 'fanaticism,' in company with George Foster." Garrison went to Lowell on July 4th, where he lectured to a large, respectable group. John A. Collins is now the general agent of the national anti-slavery society. Garrison discusses the horrible state of things in Rhode Island: "What calamity can be more unendurable to a free people, than to be placed under the absolute despotism of martial law?"</mods:note>
