Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison thanks Francis Jackson for the copy of the letter that Jackson wrote to Jesse Stedman vindicating Garrison's character. He tells an anecdote about Dr. Lathrop. Garrison discourses on the fruit of spirit as contrasted with the religious profession. He refers to an attack by Fitch and Towne in "their second Clerical Protest," accusing Garrison of being an infidel and Jacobin because of his views on the Sabbath. Garrison notes that only his opinions, never his character, have been impeached. Though unprepared, Garrison must try to appear at Marborough Chapel on July 4th. This morning, Garrison has been lying in bed with a fever.
