Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison has gone to Boston with his family in order to be near Henry Egbert Benson, who will receive a medical experiment for his "shattered constitution." Charles C. Burleigh told Garrison that Isaac Knapp had no money to send. Garrison outlines the present financial difficulties. Now that Garrison's religious sentiments are known, it will cause a loss in subscriptions to the Liberator. Garrison inveighs against the "rottenness of Christendom."
