Holograph, signed.
Having learned of Henry Clarke Wright's illness, William Lloyd Garrison cautions him against overworking beyond recovery. Garrison found the climate of old England better for his health than the climate of New England. Garrison's baby, whose namesake is Elizabeth Pease, is fourishing. Garrison saw an announcement that Henry C. Wright, Frederick Douglass, and George Thompson are considering coming in May. The Board of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society and the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society have voted to pay the expenses for George Thompson's visit. Elizabeth Pease (Nichol) should see America. Garrison would like Henry C. Wright to sail in time for the New England Convention. He mentions the death of George Thompson's little daughter. Garrison warns that Henry Clapp "is a wily creature, with considerable talent, but not to be trusted or encouraged."
