William Lloyd Garrison is nostalgic for the quiet of Friendship Valley (in Brooklyn, Conn.). Garrison writes: "Boston is beginning to sink into apathy. The reaction has come rapidly, but we are trying to get the steam up again. We have held two public meetings, which were well attended, and all went off quietly."
