William Lloyd Garrison wishes Mrs. Eddy a pleasant voyage across the Atlantic to Liverpool. She will be missed at the reformatory meetings, the anti-slavery fair, etc., and especially by her father. Garrison meditates on parting and death; he quotes a stanza of a poem by Mrs. Felicia D. Hemans. Garrison praises Charles F. Hovey, the prospective traveling companion of the Eddys. Garrison is glad that he made a "rapid flight to Boston" to attend Mrs. Eddy's wedding.
