Before he sails for home, the Rev. William James of Bristol, England, will pick up a bundle of books at Wendell Phillips Garrison's office. William Lloyd Garrison forwarded the books from Boston. William L. Garrison discusses William James's visit. William L. Garrison hopes that Wendell Phillips Garrison and his family will visit him. He sends an advertisement of a half-price round trip on the train from Boston to New York via Norwich. William L. Garrison comments: "What a financial pandemonium you are having in Wall Street! That is the focal point of heartless, profligate, insatiable Mammon. It is delightful to see how the divine law of retribution is in due time executed, even though the innocent are not wholly exempted from its operation." William L. Garrison asks if Mr. and Mrs. George W. Benson are coming to George Thompson Garrison's wedding.
