William Lloyd Garrison cannot promise to give an address to the colored people in Providence. He will stay will George William Benson. Garrison delights in the flora and birds in Brooklyn. Canterbury residents hung a dead cat on Prudence Crandall's gate. Garrison makes various puns on the incident, including that the "cat-astrophe will be duly chronicled."
