May announces the safe return of William Lloyd Garrison to Boston. May describes a dispute with the Swedenborgian minister from Bridgewater, Massachusetts. He informs Estlin that Frederick Douglass has chosen Rochester, New York as the location of his paper. May discusses the recently held Unitarian Autumnal Convention at Salem and a resolution to send a memorial denouncing the Mexican War to Congress.

Edloe of Virginia, all newly arrived in Boston.
