Alfred T. Lilly writes William Lloyd Garrison announcing the arrival of Rev. Thomas H. Jones, a fugitive slave, who has requested that Lilly forward to Garrison's attention a copy of the August 30th edition of the Morning Journal & Courier, published in New Haven, with the desire that Garrison should include the article signed by George H.
