George William Benson's mother (Sarah Thurber Benson) is out of danger. William Lloyd Garrison writes: "I do not know who was the author of the communication from Dorchester, that was published in the Liberator, giving a thrust at your Association about equal rights, &c. I published it without note or comment, feeling quite certain that I should be furnished with such a reply as was sent to me by Wm. Adam, a man who would be constantly rising in my estimation, if that were possible; for I have long regarded him as one of the noblest specimens of manhood to be found among our race." William Lloyd Garrison is gratified by the fiscal success of George William Benson's operations. Garrison considers leaving Cambridgeport to move to the city.
