William Lloyd Garrison was glad to learn from Henry Clarke Wright that the Liberator is still appreciated. Garrison has not known what to do since the newspaper discontinued. Garrison writes: "I would still like to have a journal of my own, through which to speak, and to allow others to speak, in an independent manner, on matters pertaining to reform and progress; but I cannot assume the pecuniary risk of publishing it. ..." Garrison is still thinking about writing a history of the anti-slavery struggle. He is worried about Mrs. Garrison, who recently suffered a sudden loss of consciousness.
