Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison criticizes the meaninglessness and insincerity of New Year's wishes. Ellis Gray Loring and Edmund Quincy are willing to speak at the annual meeting, which will be held in the State House. Garrison wants Samuel Joseph May to also speak. Garrison writes: "I give you this early invitation, in order that you may have some little time to prepare yourself, if any be needed. We shall have, I trust, a good anniversary. Let old Plymouth send a good strong delegation, with father Sprague at the head. How far Mr. Bishop intends to give us trouble, I do not know; but he is very obstinate and wayward---and, having publicly committed himself, will no doubt do what he can to make trouble."
