In this letter, William Lloyd Garrison gives editorial instructions for Isaac Knapp. Garrison says: "Those pieces which tell of new outrages at the south, and of the designs of the southerners, should be promptly inserted." Garrison is glad of George Thompson's safety. He commends the independence of the NY Post. The colonization idea is dead. Garrison also gives some family news.
