Notes:
Holograph, signed.
The wound in William Lloyd Garrison's leg has grown worse, giving him continual pain night and day. He hopes that Isaac Knapp will find room in the Liberator to print a letter by General Andrew Jackson regarding the movements of General Gaines. There was another slave case in Boston. Garrison hopes that Samuel E. Sewall or Ellis Gray Loring will take Judge Hornblower's stand that the fugitive slave law in Congress is unconstitutional.
