Source Description

He says that all other committee members support the plan to meet in New York, except for William Lloyd Garrison. He says “[i]t will be a decided triumph to hold a meeting of the Society again in that city” even though this may be a disappointment to people in Syracuse, which was the back-up location for the meeting.
