Holograph, signed.
Mary Benson's condition has changed for the worse and "is in as low and languishing a state as she can be, and live." The doctor thinks that George William Benson should come without delay. William Lloyd Garrison brought his son George Thompson Garrison home from Providence despite the child being quite sick with a lung fever.The meeting in the State House was quite grand. The speakers were: George Bradburn, Col. Miller of Vermont, James C. Fuller, Nathaniel P. Rogers, Abby Kelley (Foster), Charles L. Remond, Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, and William Lloyd Garrison. George "Bradburn, was tremendously severe and sarcastic, as usual." There may be a row at the Faneuil Hall meeting tonight. Garrison believes that "the Irish Address may excite Yankee blood."
