William Lloyd Garrison is writing on behalf of the sculptor John Adams Jackson, who wants to try try his luck in New York. Jackson is offering to make busts "pro tempore, for fifty dollars---half his usual price." Garrison suggests possible sitters, among them William Cullen Bryant. Garrison proposes that petitions against slave hunting and trials are sent from Oliver Johnson's office and circulated in central and western New York.
