Mary Anne Estlin expresses gratification by the visit of William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass. She praises Garrison's patient manner and his zeal. Emphasizes the influence of Christian teaching on Garrison's ideas and actions. Garrison was generally surrounded by intense sympathizers. However, Mary A. Estlin tried to get friends who were infected by the British & Foreign Anti-Slavery Society to meet him. Mary A. Estlin read in the Liberator the complimentary notice of her father's pamphlet. She comments: "Here it does just the work he designed it for." Frederick Douglass, wherever he goes, "arouses sympathy in your cause & love for himself." Articles for the Boston bazaar are beginning to pour in. Frederick Douglass will speak again at a meeting tomorrow and the Auxiliary League is to be formed.
