Thomas Phillips informs William Lloyd Garrison that their friends were grieved to learn of Garrison's illness, and that they have contrived to ensure that Garrison will be given "as much rest and as little work as possible". Phillips states that he has received a note from John Taylor concerning the Institute Meeting, and announces that Joseph Cooper, one of the "old hearty, Anti-Slavery men" will be present.
