William Lloyd Garrison had trouble making arrangements for his lecture in Erie, Pa. He checked his baggage to Buffalo by mistake. In Erie, he was entertained by Mr. Catlin, "formerly editor of the True American." Garrison does not find that his lecture tour is as profitable as he expected. In Meadville, he is staying with Joshua Douglas. His lecture here was a failure. There was a snowstorm. Garrison is depressed by the small audiences and the poorly-lit halls he has encountered. He met Senator Lowrie.
