William Lloyd Garrison was disappointed that Henry Egbert Benson did not come to Brooklyn, Conn. However, a change of physician might be harmful to Henry E. Benson. In a few weeks, Samuel J. May and William L. Garrison and their families will move to Boston. All feel indebted to Phoebe Jackson for her kindness. Garrison awaits authentic news regarding the disturbance in Boston.
