William Lloyd Garrison will have to put off his visit to see Wendell Phillips Garrison in New York until the 20th. On the 19th, he will attend a public breakfast in Boston for Neal Dow, the temperance advocate from Maine. The weather has been very cold. Garrison writes: "I am sorry not to be at the Ladies' Fair for the benefit of the Freedmen. But I am to be present and speak at a similar meeting, by express invitation, to-morrow evening, at Cambridge, Charles Eliot Norton in the chair. He invites me to tea." Garrison loaned money to Mr. Peter Sinclair, a Scottish acquaintance, who is engaged in "an emigration scheme of skilled laborers from Europe." Garrison condemns Andrew Johnson's presidential message. Garrison says: "I always regret to see any fling in 'The Nation' at those who believe in the necessity and duty of impeachment. Leave that to traitors and copperheads."
