William Lloyd Garrison has received the news that 16 meetinghouses and halls have refused to let them hold the annual meeting. He hopes for resolutions on Governor McDuffie and Governor Marcy's propositions, slavery in the District of Columbia, and a resolution passed in remembrance of George Thompson and/or in remembrance of Charles Stuart. Garrison recommends a mixture of praise and reproof of William Ellery Channing's book in the Annual Report. Garrison suggests honoring Harriet Martineau. He urges sending delegates to Providence. He suggests Professor Charles T. C. Follen as vice president in place of E. M. P. Wells.
