Notes:
Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison describes an anti-slavery meeting. There was a resolution welcoming them [the Americans] to England made by James Haughton. As an adherent to the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, John Howard Hinton made an ineffectual attempt to divide the assembly. There were speeches made by Henry Clarke Wright and Frederick Douglass; they both "excoriated" those people in England who were pursuing a deceitful course in regard to the anti-slavery movement in the United States.
