Full text of this broadside reads: "Presentation and farewell meeting!! At Washington Hall, Bromfield Street, on Monday evening next, July 16, 1849, under auspices of the Colored Citizens of Boston, who will then present a silver pitcher to the champion of universal emancipation, W. Lloyd Garrison. After which a farewell will be tendered to William W. Brown, who is about to leave for Europe. Several early laborers in behalf of the Liberator are expected to be present.

A collection will be taken to defray expenses--the surplus to be appropriated in aid of Mr. Brown's mission ..."
