Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison begins this letter by discussing the financial affairs of George William Benson's cousin Thurber. Since hearing that the Eastern New York Anti-Slavery Society is to be formed in the old organization basis, William L. Garrison is going to Albany, NY. He does not know if Charles Lenox Remond can go. He will visit George William Benson on his return. Garrison is suffering from scrofula; his son Willie is sick with a fever. Brother James is sometimes quite feeble. Garrison fears that Henry Clarke Wright's mission will fail from want of funds.
