Notes:
Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison is about to leave with his family for Scituate to visit Samuel Joseph May. He regrets the silence of the Emancipator on the Clerical Appeal. He received a letter from Elizur Wright denouncing Garrison's course. He is convinced that Elizur Wright would like to have Garrison cashiered or "voluntarily leave the ranks." The state society will hold a quarterly meeting in Worcester. Garrison expects an attempt by the Clerical party to force through hostile resolutions. Garrison will not attend the meeting so that things will take their course uninfluenced by his presence.
