William Lloyd Garrison wants James Holley Garrison to remain in Brooklyn through the winter. William L. Garrison is pleased that his wife's mother will stay with them in Cambridgeport. (Garrison is married to Helen Eliza Garrison. His mother-in-law is Sarah Thurber Benson.) William Lloyd Garrison urges George William Benson to attend the meeting of the Rhode Island state society. Garrison writes: "The call for the Sabbath, ministerial and church Convention is beginning to make a mighty stir among the priesthood, and even to fill with dismay some of our professed anti-slavery friends." As a result of publishing the call, several subscribers have discontinued the Liberator. Garrison urges George W. Benson to attend the convention with Henry C. Wright and William Coe.
