William Lloyd Garrison reflects on the boredom of country life. He has a great preference for the practical over the fancifal. He humorously describes the patients taking the water cure. He mentions Miss Thayer of Rochester, NY, a Garrisonian abolitionist and Grahamite. Garrison enumerates on the items absent from his rigorous diet.
