William Lloyd Garrison discusses plans to go with his family to Northampton. The New England Anti-Slavery Convention was inspiring; Garrison asks why there were no abolitionists from Northampton. Garrison is troubled by various physical complaints. He was examined by Dr. Warren. But Dr. Wesselhoeft disagrees with Dr. Warren and Dr. Bowditch. Garrison thinks that Dr. Wesselhoeft's diagnosis is nearer right than Dr. Warren. In the New York Tribune, Banjamin C. Bacon gave a favorable notice of the Northampton Association.
