William Lloyd Garrison tells about his interviews with President Lincoln and Secretary Edward M. Stanton. Garrison says about President Lincoln: "He received me very heartily, and expressed a desire to see me again, and I expect to do so to-morrow. He referred to my imprisonment in Baltimore thirty-four years ago, and said---'Then, you could not get out of prison; now you cannot get in'---referring playfully to the demolition of the old prison." Garrison then visited Senators Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson in the Senate chamber.
