Notes:
Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison is feeling well as usual, but he is not free of catarrhal attacks. He is anxious to print in the Liberator the "amazing outpouring of public sentiment---pro and con---in relation to John Brown." Garrison declines Samuel Joseph May's invitation to give an anti-slavery lecture in Syracuse on account of the distance, expense, and winter weather. He has also declined an invitation to the annual meeting in Albany. However, since the Woman's Rights Convention will be held in Albany on Feb. 3-4, he is tempted to revoke his decision and go to Albany and Syracuse, but he cannot pledge himself to do so yet. At Samuel J. May's suggestion, the executive committee will send anti-slavery books to England. Gerrit Smith is nearly restored to health.
